Sirens wailed across Jerusalem on Thursday as Israel’s military intercepted a new wave of Iranian missiles.
Footage from China Media Group (CMG) showed interceptor missiles arcing upward before striking Iran's rockets.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that Iran had launched four waves of ballistic missile attacks since midnight, all of which were intercepted.
Israel’s Health Ministry reported 179 injuries in the past 24 hours, bringing the total to 2,745 since the conflict began, whilst 85 remain hospitalized. On Feb 28, Israel and the United States launched joint strikes on Tehran and other Iranian cities, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei along with senior commanders. Iran has since retaliated with waves of missile and drone attacks targeting Israeli and U.S. assets across the Middle East.
More than 1,300 civilians have been killed and 9,669 civilian sites destroyed in Iran in the military strikes launched by the United States and Israel since Feb 28, according to official data released by Iran on Tuesday.
