The Israel Defense Forces said alerts were activated in several areas of the country after the detection of missiles launched from Iran toward Israel. The Air Force was working to intercept them, the IDF said.

At least 24 people have been killed in Israel as Iran launched retaliatory airstrikes targeting civilian areas. A U.S. Embassy branch in Tel Aviv suffered minor damage.

Iran fired a new wave of missile attacks on Israel early Monday, killing at least eight people, while Israel warned residents of part of Tehran to evacuate ahead of new strikes.
