In the past few hours, the Israeli Air Force struck several Iranian ballistic missile launchers in western Iran, which were primed for this morning’s salvos on Israel, the IDF says.

The airstrikes foiled a larger attack on Israel, according to the military. It is unclear if the strikes were launched before the Iranian missile salvos or during them.

The military issues footage of the strikes.

Despite the action, at least four people were killed when a ballistic missile hit an apartment block in Beersheba.
