The Israeli military says Iran has launched a missile attack at Israel, as air raid sirens sounded across the country and Israelis rushed for shelter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said there are no reports of casualties from Tuesday\u2019s attack, and that the army does not see \u201cany more threats in our airspace.\u201d He said people are safe to leave the shelters in a televised press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Israel\u2019s emergency services said at least two people sustained slight injuries \u201cfrom shrapnel in the Tel Aviv area.\u201d The military had earlier warned that any ballistic missile attack from Iran was expected to be widespread and told the public to shelter in safe rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn response to the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, Hassan Nasrallah and [IRGC Guards commander] Nilforoshan, we targeted the heart of the occupied territories,\u201d the IRGC said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It said Iran had launched dozens of missiles at Israel, and that if Israel retaliated, Tehran\u2019s response would be \u201cmore crushing and ruinous.\u201d Iran\u2019s state television said 80 percent of the missiles launched at Israel hit their targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Israel military meanwhile, said a \u201clarge number\u201d of missiles had been intercepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking to reporters, Hagari said the attack was serious and will have consequences \u201cin a timely manner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
