A total of 125 missiles were fired against Israel by Iran during their first barrage, with 35 entering Israeli airspace and the rest being intercepted earlier. As a result, sirens sounded in central and northern Israel.

A missile impacted in northern Israel, a Magen David Adom source told Walla, with no injuries being reported. According to Fire and Rescue, missile shrapnel impacted on a 20-story building and penetrated into the 17th floor.

Heavy rocket barrages were launched into northern Israel and the Golan Heights on Saturday morning, as Iran continues launching a salvo of attacks on Israel. Sirens have sounded intermittently throughout Saturday morning.

Other MDA teams were dispatched earlier to treat several individuals who were injured on their way to protected areas, as well as people suffering from anxiety.

Some of the missiles fired at Israel on Saturday morning were launched from Lebanon, a military source said. The IDF denied the source’s claim.

The IDF shifted to hunting missile launchers and missiles across Iran, aiming to degrade IRGC capabilities to strike Israel’s home front.

“When we are finished, take over your government, it will be yours to take,” Trump told the Iranian people in a pre-recorded message.

“Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime,” Trump added. “Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.”
