The Israeli Air Force (IAF) announced Thursday that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had identified missiles launched from Iran toward Israel.

“Defense systems are operating to intercept the threat,” it said in a post shared on X.

“In the last few minutes, the Home Front Command issued a preliminary directive directly to mobile phones in the relevant areas.

“The public is requested to exercise responsibility and act in accordance with the directives — they save lives.”
The post urged people to “enter protected spaces upon receiving the alert, and remain in them until a new announcement.”“Exit from the protected space will be permitted only after receiving an explicit directive; continue to act in accordance with the Home Front Command’s directives,” the IAF said.
