Residents of Dimona, Israel, described experiencing consecutive air raid sirens during a large-scale missile and drone attack launched by Iran against the country. The attack, which occurred overnight, triggered widespread alerts across Israel.
The Israeli military confirmed that dozens of drones and missiles were intercepted by Israel and its allies, including the United States and the United Kingdom. Most of the projectiles were shot down outside Israeli airspace.
