Jerusalem, 7 June, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel remained on high alert Sunday night after Iran launched approximately 10 ballistic missiles at northern Israel in four separate barrages, triggering air raid sirens across the region and sending residents to protected areas.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, all of the missiles were either intercepted by air defense systems or landed in open areas. No direct hits, injuries, or property damage were reported.
“Air defenses are now working to shoot down the latest salvo launched from Iran,” the military said as sirens sounded across northern communities.
Following a security assessment, the Home Front Command eased some restrictions but urged continued caution nationwide. “It is possible to leave the protected area, but you should continue to stay in close proximity to protected areas throughout the Country,” the IDF spokesperson said. “You are asked to continue to follow the Home Front Command’s instructions.”
The missile attacks also disrupted public events. A basketball game between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Hapoel Jerusalem in Tel Aviv was halted, with thousands of spectators evacuating the venue in accordance with Home Front Command directives.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called for a forceful response to the attacks, writing on X, “Tonight, Tehran must burn.”
Meanwhile, the Transportation Ministry said Israel’s airspace remained open despite the ongoing missile threat.
