Sirens were activated across Haifa and multiple locations in northern Israel Tuesday morning, shortly after Iran launched another missile attack—the fourth such attack within hours—toward Israeli territory, the IDF confirmed. The military said that it had successfully intercepted a single ballistic missile.
The alerts came about an hour after sirens blared in the greater Tel Aviv area and southern coastal regions. That earlier attack, the third in rapid succession, involved a small number of ballistic missiles from Iran. Most were intercepted or fell in unpopulated areas, and no injuries were reported.

In the current attack on the north, Home Front Command warned in advance that sirens would be triggered in the coming minutes across northern Israel, urging residents to take cover in protected spaces. The IDF later confirmed that the launch was detected and defensive systems were engaged to intercept the incoming threats.

In the last two attacks, sirens sounded in numerous locations across Israel, with some areas reporting no advance warning before the alerts. Explosions were heard in several parts of the region.
Magen David Adom emergency services said there were no reports of casualties or missile impacts in both attacks, though a few individuals sustained minor injuries while rushing to shelters.
Following a security assessment, Home Front Command announced that civilians across the country were cleared to leave protected spaces. "You are requested to continue following Home Front Command instructions and official updates," the military said in a statement.
