Sirens are sounding in central Israel and Jerusalem, warning of rocket attacks. The Israeli Defense Forces and their correspondent in Tel Aviv reported this, according to RIA Novosti. “Sirens are sounding in central Israel,” says the Israeli army’s Telegram channel. Israeli military officials also announced that sirens are sounding in Jerusalem.
Earlier, the Israeli Defense Forces stated that all settlements near the Gaza Strip are under military control. On October 7th, Hamas forces launched thousands of rockets into Israeli territory, declaring the start of the “Al-Aqsa Flooding” operation. In response, Israel’s Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, declared a state of emergency in the country. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the country is in a state of war. The Israeli Defense Forces’ operation against Hamas has been named “Iron Swords.”
Previously, Israel’s Defense Minister, Yoav Galant, promised an “unprecedented response” that would be remembered in the Gaza Strip for the next 50 years.
