A fifth wave of missiles was reportedly launched by the Islamic Republic of Iran towards Israel on Saturday, according to Iranian media reports.

Shortly after, the IAF intercepted drones from Iran launched towards the Dead Sea and southern West Bank areas on Saturday morning. Sirens sounded in those areas as a result. Later, the IAF downed two more drones at around 9 a.m., but this time in the country's north. The military decided to mobilize the 6th and 205th reserve brigades, dubbed "Etzioni" and "Iron Fist," respectively, to serve as a reserve for various scenarios in Israel's north.  

"The IAF is operating to intercept and strike wherever necessary to eliminate the threat," the military statement said.

Later, two rockets that were fired at southern Israel fell within the Gaza Strip, the IDF said.

This newest wave comes after reports that four people were killed and over 70 were wounded in the past four barrages launched at Israel combined. This included two who were killed in Israel's central district after their bodies were rescued from under the rubble of a home hit by an Iranian projectile, with reports that a two-month-old baby may still be trapped under the rubble.

Iranian projectiles had already caused damage in Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan.

Iran had launched over 150 missiles towards Israel since Friday evening.

Additionally, on Saturday morning, rocket sirens sounded in northern Israel, including Kiryat Shmona, Metulla, and Ghajar. The IDF has yet to issue a statement on the incident.

Strikes on Islamic Republic

These reports come as the Mehrabad Airport in Iran caught fire early on Saturday morning after explosions were heard in Tehran, according to Iranian media reports.  Two projectiles reportedly struck the airport, according to Fars News Agency.

Iran's fifth wave of attacks is the latest exchange of aerial attacks since the Israeli strikes on the Islamic regime's military and nuclear facilities on Thursday.
