TEL AVIV: Iran launched another wave of missiles toward Israel on Thursday, according to the Israeli military and Iranian state media, setting off air raid sirens in multiple locations, including Tel Aviv.

There were no immediate reports of casualties. The Israeli military noted that the latest barrage followed a pause of more than seven hours in hostilities.

“The Israeli Air Force has identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel, ” the military said in a statement, adding that air defence systems were actively working to intercept the incoming projectiles.

Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB also confirmed that missiles had been fired toward Israel.

Amid the escalating confrontation, Iranian state media reported that more than 1, 000 people have been killed in Israeli and US strikes that began last weekend.
