JERUSALEM, March 5 (Xinhua) -- Sirens and loud blasts were heard in Tel Aviv before dawn on Thursday as the Israeli military announced that its air defense systems were working to intercept a missile attack from Iran.
The attack activated air raid sirens in other parts of central Israel and the occupied West Bank.
Less than an hour earlier, the military said that its warplanes started striking Hezbollah sites in Beirut as the U.S.-Israeli joint military campaign against Iran, now on its sixth day, continues to exacerbate tensions across the region. ■
