Early Thursday, Israel's military reported that air defenses intercepted waves of Iranian missile fire, including two attacks shortly after US President Donald Trump addressed the public regarding the ongoing conflict. Police indicated that officers responded to at least nine impact sites in central Israel, resulting in four light injuries in the Tel Aviv area. Reports suggest that the damage was attributed to the use of cluster munitions, which scatter smaller explosive devices upon detonation. Within six hours, the military detected three additional missile launches from Iran, triggering air raid sirens across northern and central Israel, although no casualties or damage were reported from these later attacks. Earlier, on Wednesday, Iranian missile fire wounded 14 individuals, including an 11-year-old girl, as Jewish Israelis prepared for the Passover holiday. Additionally, air raid sirens were activated in northern Israel due to threats from Lebanon, where the Iranian ally Hezbollah claimed responsibility for rocket fire targeting Israeli troops.
