The Israeli army on Sunday called on citizens to take shelter after detecting new missile launches from Iran toward Israel as the two foes kept up intense fighting for the third day.
Israel
launched an air offensive against Iran on Friday, killing commanders and scientists and bombing nuclear sites in a stated bid to stop Tehran building an atomic weapon, which the latter has consistently
denied, saying its uranium enrichment programme is for civilian purposes.
“Sirens sounded in several areas across Israel following the identification of missiles from Iran toward the state of Israel,” the military said in a statement.
“At this time, the (air force) is operating to intercept and strike where necessary to eliminate the threat,” it said, instructing citizens to seek shelter as
AFP journalists heard sirens in Jerusalem.
