The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) has alerted that all its citizens are in bomb shelters after Iran fired over 250 ballistic missiles on Israel.
Israel came under a barrage of attacks with hundreds of ballistic missiles fired into several parts of the country, including its state capital Tel Aviv marking a significant escalation.
While some of the missiles were intercepted by the Iron Dome, many others landed, including in densely populated areas.
On its official X handle, the IDF said: “All Israeli civilians are in bomb shelters as rockets from Iran are fired at Israel.”
According to the IDF, “Approximately 10 million civilians are the targets of Iranian projectiles.”
The IDF added that, “We are ready for them.”
