Israel's military activated air raid sirens across several northern areas Sunday night, reporting the detection of missiles launched from Iran. The Israeli Air Force was actively intercepting and neutralizing the threat, according to a military statement. The statement cautioned that the air defense system is not infallible and urged the public to follow instructions from the Home Front Command.

Later, the military announced it had intercepted a total of 11 Iranian missiles. By 10:47 p.m. local time, the military declared the "incident" concluded, permitting citizens to leave protected areas nationwide. Israel's emergency service, Magen David Adom, reported receiving only one call about a potential incident, which resulted in no injuries.

Fire and Rescue Service teams inspected several locations in the Golan Heights after receiving calls following the Iranian attack. The report also noted a statement from U.S. President Donald Trump, who warned that Iran's attacks on Israel would not aid negotiations to end the war, while also urging Tehran to return to the dialogue table.
