Rocket sirens sound across central Israel as new Iranian barrage launched

Shafaq News/ Rocket sirens sounded across central, northern, and southern Israel on Monday due to a new barrage of missiles launched from Iran.

According to Israel’s Home Front Command, projectiles were detected over multiple regions, including Ashkelon and the coastal plain, prompting the army to instruct civilians to take shelter and remain in protected spaces until further notice.

Channel 12 reported it was the longest continuous activation of sirens since the start of hostilities with Iran, while Channel 13 noted that Israelis had spent more time in shelters today than at any other point in the war.

One missile reportedly struck a power company facility in southern Israel.

Israeli media said Iran has fired approximately 500 missiles and over 1,000 drones at Israeli territory since the conflict began. The sustained attacks have disrupted air traffic, with five flights forced to delay landing at Ben Gurion Airport, according to flight-tracking data from Flightradar.

A missile also reportedly landed south of Jerusalem, as emergency services and air defense systems continued to respond to multiple impact zones across the country.
