Israel military says responding to missiles fired from Iran
Jerusalem, April 3 (AFP) Apr 03, 2026
Israel's military said Friday that its air defences were operating to down missiles fired from Iran, as Tehran keeps up its retaliatory fire on the country after a US-Israeli bombing campaign began at the end of February.

The military said in a statement it had "identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel", adding that "defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat". There were no immediate reports of any casualties or damage.
