Hundreds of rockets were fired at Israel

Around 500 rockets were fired from Iran at Israel on Tuesday evening. The Jerusalem Post understands after missile alarm sirens blared across the country.

So far, four people are said to have been killed in the air strikes, and there were also two direct hits, one of them in Tel Aviv.

Iran launched the wave of attacks after the IDF announced on Monday evening that it had begun limited ground operations in Lebanon.

The IDF began the operation after sustained attacks by the Lebanon-based, Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah – which began on October 8, a day after Hamas launched a mass attack on southern Israel.

Since Hamas murdered about 1,200 people on October 7, Israel has faced attacks from both Iran and its allies Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis and militia groups in Iraq.
