๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅOH NOOOOOO. ๐๐๐Iran launches missiles after Trump's ceasefire announcement
Israel detects a series of missiles fired from Iran into the north and south of the country, hours after President Trump said the two sides had agreed to a ceasefire.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on June 24 that air raid sirens had been activated in many areas of the north and south of the country, in response to a series of ballistic missiles launched from Iran.
The IDF said it detected two missiles fired over Iranian territory and issued early warnings to residents in many areas to take shelter. "At this time, the Israeli Air Force is operating to intercept and attack the necessary targets to eliminate the threat," the agency said.
Israel did not record any explosions on the ground or civilian casualties in this attack, most likely its air defenses intercepted all of the Iranian missiles.
The IDF later announced that it continued to detect a second series of ballistic missiles, consisting of four launched from Iran, targeting central Israel and the Jerusalem area. A missile penetrated Israeli air defenses and crashed into an apartment building in the city of Beersheba, partially destroying the building.
Rescue workers said three people in the apartment building were killed when the Iranian missile hit, and several others were injured.
Minutes later, the IDF detected a third volley of missiles fired from Iran, targeting central and southern parts of the country.
