Air raid sirens sounded across wide areas of northern Israel, including Haifa, Acre, Safed and the Krayot area, following an Iranian missile barrage, the Israeli military said. In another development, the Revolutionary Guards said Iranian air defences had intercepted a cruise missile carrying a 454kg warhead over Markazi province in central Iran. Iranian media circulated images they said showed the missile’s wreckage. Iranian media also reported strikes on a cement factory in southern Iran. A spokesman for Khatam al-Anbiya military headquarters said Israeli embassies in the region would become legitimate targets if Iranian missions were attacked.
