ISTANBUL (AA) - The Israeli army on early Saturday said that it detected a fresh wave of missiles fired from Iran toward Israel.

Missile alerts were triggered across the country, and warning sirens sounded, along with alerts on mobile applications to report attacks.

"In the last hour, dozens of missiles have been launched at the State of Israel from Iran, some of which were intercepted. Rescue and rescue forces are operating in several areas across the country where reports of falls have been received," the Israeli army said on X.

All civilians were urged to move to protected areas and remain there until further notice.

In occupied East Jerusalem, loud explosions were heard in the sky.

Earlier, a statement issued by the Israeli army said that Israel's air defense systems were activated immediately upon detection of the attack.

In addition, an Anadolu correspondent reported that loud explosions were heard in Jordanian airspace as Iranian missiles were intercepted and destroyed.
