Iran launched several rounds of missiles at Israel early Thursday, the Israeli military said, triggering alerts in several areas and explosions heard in Jerusalem, but there were no immediate reports of casualties.
After a lull of more than seven hours, Israel’s military issued three separate alerts warning of Iranian missile fire in under two hours.
Iran’s state broadcaster, Irib, also reported the launches.
AFP reporters in Jerusalem heard explosions following the third reported launch.
But Israel’s emergency services, the Magen David Adom, said it had received no reports of casualties following Thursday’s early rocket fire, and the military has cleared people to leave their shelters.
On Wednesday, the military’s Home Front Command said it would ease some war-related restrictions effective midday Thursday, citing a decline in the number of missiles fired by Iran.
