Sirens warning of rocket and missile fire were activated across the country, shortly after the Home Front Command announced that people should seek shelter. According to estimates, about 100 missiles were launched from Iran. The IDF stated: "The public is requested to obey Home Front Command instructions. At this time, the Air Force is operating to intercept and attack wherever necessary to remove the threat. Defense is not hermetic, and therefore it is necessary to continue adhering to Home Front Command instructions."
