Iran has fired 400 missiles, 1,000 drones at Israel, military official says

initial assessments indicate the Islamic Republic fired between five and seven missiles in its latest attack on Israel, Channel 14 in Israel reported Wednesday.

Some were intercepted by air defenses while others failed and fell mid-flight, according to the report.

Iran’s air defense system is currently “intercepting hostile targets” over Tehran, the semi-official Mehr News Agency said Wednesday.

Shortly after, Iran’s state-run IRIB network published an evacuation warning in Hebrew for residents of the Israeli city of Haifa.

The warning, shared as a graphic, marked an unspecified area as a “high-risk zone” and urged people to leave immediately.

“Your presence in this area endangers your lives,” it read. The message comes amid ongoing missile exchanges between Iran and Israel.

If the United States targets Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Iran would strike back at American cities, Mojtaba Ranjbar, a member of Iran’s Assembly of Experts said Wednesday.

“If America makes a mistake, what happened to Tel Aviv and Haifa will happen to Washington and New York,” he said.

The warning came after President Donald Trump suggested he might target Khamenei.

Several missiles were launched from Iran toward Israeli territory Wednesday evening, The Israeli military said.

Around the same time, Iranian media, including the IRGC-linked Fars News Agency, reported the beginning of a missile attack by the Islamic Republic on Israel.

Air raid sirens were activated in Tel Aviv shortly after.
