Hundreds of rockets were fired towards Israel

About 500 missiles were launched by Iran at Israel on Tuesday evening. The Jerusalem Post understands, after rocket alert sirens blared across the country.

So far, four people have reportedly been killed in the airstrikes, and there have been two direct hits, one of which was in Tel Aviv.

Iran launched the wave of attacks after the IDF announced on Monday evening that it had begun limited ground operations in Lebanon.

The IDF launched the operation following sustained attacks by the Lebanon-based, Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah – which began on October 8, a day after Hamas launched a mass attack on southern Israel.

Since Hamas killed some 1,200 people on October 7, Israel has faced attacks from both Iran and its allies Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis and militias in Iraq.
