Iran fails to strike targets in Israel as it fires afternoon salvo
Israelis on social media reported hearing explosions, particularly in the Tel Aviv and Haifa areas.
An Iranian ballistic missile salvo around 4:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon failed to strike any targets in Israel, the IDF reported.
Previous ballistic missile salvos on Friday and Saturday hit a number of Israelis, causing 13 deaths and wounding almost 400 people in several different Israeli cities.
However, the IDF shot down any ballistic missiles which were going to strike Israel, and various others fell short given the around 1,500 kilometer range they must travel from Iran.
It was unclear why Tehran was less successful with this salvo, though the military is hoping that constant air attacks will reduce the Islamic Republic's ballistic missile attack capabilities.
United Hatzalah stated that while there were no injuries directly caused by missile impacts or shrapnel fragments, their medics were treating some for minor injuries caused by falling en route to sheltered areas.
The IDF also continued striking Tehran, according to reports in Iranian media.
Home Front emergency status extended
Meanwhile, the government has extended the state of emergency on the home front until June 30, The Jerusalem Post confirmed.
