JERUSALEM, March 11 (Xinhua) -- Alarms were activated across Israel on Wednesday night as air defenses detected missiles and rockets launched from Iran and Lebanon.
There were media reports of a rocket or debris hitting a building in the north, and the country's Magen David Adom rescue service said in a statement that its teams were on their way to the scene to check for injuries.
Citing an Israeli security official, state-owned Kan TV News reported that the military estimates Iran and Hezbollah coordinated the recent launches in an attempt to bypass Israel's air defense systems.
A rocket barrage from Lebanon was intercepted, according to the military, but shortly later, more alarms were sounded in northern Israel, including in the coastal city of Haifa, sending millions of residents back to the shelters.
Simultaneously, a missile from Iran triggered alarms in central and southern Israel as well as in the Jerusalem area and the occupied West Bank. The attacks came as the deadly regional conflict stretched into its 12th day. ■
