Israel, Iran continue attacks as war enters its fifth day, engulfs region
Al Jazeera
Iranian retaliatory strikes continue with drone and missile attacks as conflict spreads through Gulf nations.
Air raid sirens have sounded across Israel, with people rushing to shelters, as incoming Iranian missiles triggered loud blasts from interception attempts as the US-Israel war on Iran entered its fifth day. Multiple locations across Iran are being struck, and Tehran is carrying out retaliatory attacks across the region.
Israel issued an alert early on Wednesday morning, instructing residents to head to shelters as missiles had been launched from Iran and defence systems were working to “intercept the threat”.
The order to seek shelter covered Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and other areas across the country. Israel’s emergency medical service, Magen David Adom, said it had received no reports of casualties.
“From where we are right now in Ramallah, we heard very loud explosions, and they could be because of interceptions,” Al Jazeera’s Nida Ibrahim reported.
