Rocket alarm sirens sounded from Rehovot to Hadera shortly before 4 a.m. on Wednesday and again a half hour later, sending millions in central Israel and the northern West Bank to bomb shelters. There were no reported injuries. The Israeli Air Force successfully intercepted the launches from Iran.
Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates' Ministry of Defense announced that the country's air defense systems intercepted missiles and drones coming from Iran.
The sirens early Wednesday morning came hours after, shortly before midnight on Tuesday night, alarms warning of missiles fired from Iran. Additional sirens sounded after midnight on Wednesday morning. The alarms also sounded in Jerusalem and the Dead Sea area, and later in the Haifa Bay and Carmel area. At the same time, an alarm was raised warning of the intrusion of an armed drone in the Galilee.

Some of the launches toward the center of the country and the Sharon region were intercepted, and others fell in open areas. No casualties were reported.
During one of the alarms, two women were slightly injured when the car they were traveling in crashed into a fence and caught fire. They were evacuated to a nearby hospital by Magen David Adom.
Earlier on Tuesday, three IDF soldiers were slightly injured by a Hezbollah drone strike on a post in Israeli territory near the Lebanese border.
