🔴 Live: Iran launches salvo of missiles against Israel

Iran launched a missile attack on Israel's commercial hub Tel Aviv, state media IRNA news reported Tuesday. Iran's Revolutionary Guards said its missile launches on Israel were in retaliation for the killing of Islamist leaders Ismail Haniyeh, Hassan Nasrallah, and Abbas Nilforoushan.
Israel closed its airspace on Tuesday and diverted flights, a spokesman from the airport authority said, as air raid sirens sounded across the country.
The United States earlier on Tuesday had warned that an Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel could be imminent and threatened “severe consequences” for Iran should it take place.
Israel earlier said its air defence systems were fully prepared for an attack from Iran, which it expected to occur on a wide scale. Israel's military spokesman said citizens should shelter in safe rooms.
The Israeli military said its troops were carrying out "ground raids" in southern Lebanon against Hezbollah targets and had launched air strikes on targets in Beirut.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels carried out three operations targeting vessels in the Red Sea, the Iran-aligned group's military spokesman Yahya Saree said in a televised speech. The attacks are the rebels’ first assaults on commercial shipping in weeks.

Israel told the US it had begun conducting limited ground operations inside Lebanon targeting Hezbollah, the US State Department said on Monday evening. Earlier Israel declared three communities along its northern border with Lebanon to be a “closed military zone”, restricting access to military forces only.
Lebanon's army is "repositioning and regrouping forces" away from the border with Israel in response to an apparently imminent Israeli ground invasion, a Lebanese military official told AFP.
United Nations peacekeepers in Lebanon have been unable to conduct patrols because of the intensity of Israeli strikes and Hezbollah's rockets targeting Israel, a UN spokesman said.
