JERUSALEM, April 1 (Xinhua) -- At least 10 missiles were fired from Iran toward wide areas across Israel within about 45 minutes on Wednesday, as many families were heading to the traditional Passover dinner "Seder" on the eve of the Jewish holiday, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
Israel's national emergency service Magen David Adom said that fragments from the missiles fell in several locations, but no casualties were reported.
Air defense sirens sounded multiple times following the launches, sending millions of people rushing to seek shelter. Loud explosions were heard across many parts of the country.
Separately, sirens were also triggered by simultaneous rocket fire from Hezbollah in Lebanon into northern Israel, with no casualties reported either. ■
