JERUSALEM, March 5 (Xinhua) -- The Israeli military said Thursday that its air force had completed a wave of attacks on Iranian ballistic missile sites.
In a statement, the military said warplanes struck an underground ballistic missile storage site, storage facilities for missiles intended for use against aircraft, and launch sites for long-range ballistic missiles in Iran.
It did not elaborate on the number or the specific locations of the targeted sites.
In the late morning, missile attacks from Iran resumed. Air raid warning sirens sounded across central Israel, including Tel Aviv, as millions sought shelter just as new wartime guidelines came into effect, lifting some restrictions and allowing Israelis to reopen workplaces where they could quickly reach a shelter.
Police reported that a missile fragment fell in the central region. Video footage circulating on social media showed the impact created a large crater in the backyard of a residential home.
Paramedics reported no injuries.
On Saturday morning, Israel and the United States launched massive airstrikes on Iran, prompting retaliatory strikes by Iran against Israeli targets and U.S. assets in the Middle East. ■
