The IDF Home Front Command says civilians in central and northern Israel no longer need to remain close to bomb shelters, after instructing them to do so 40 minutes ago.
Normally, the instruction is given when the IDF identifies that Iran is preparing to launch an attack on Israel.
No missiles were fired since the instruction was given.
The IDF says it has been working to destroy Iranian ballistic missile launchers to disrupt its attacks.
