In the largest Iranian salvo on Israel since the early days of the war, some 10 ballistic missiles were fired at central Israel a short while ago, according to initial IDF assessments.

Rescue forces say they are responding to reports of impacts, possibly caused by falling fragments, in several areas.

There are no immediate reports of injuries.

Iran’s missile fire on Israel had slowed to around 10-15 missiles a day in the past two weeks, down from around 90 on the first day of the war.

Until this afternoon, Iran had not carried out large missile barrages, with recent attacks composed of a small number of missiles, usually between one and three.
