Air raid sirens sound in the Galilee, near the border with Lebanon. In Israel, the Hetz system, capable of shooting down ballistic missiles in the stratosphere, was activated. World media, in particular The Times of Israel, write about this.
The Israel Defense Forces recorded about 40 launches from Lebanon. Some of these rockets crossing into Lebanese territory were intercepted, while others fell in open areas. There were no reports of casualties, the IDF said.
Let us recall that on April 12, the coordinator for strategic communications of the US National Security Council, John Kirby, said that Washington considers a real threat of an Iranian attack on Israel. Now the White House is not only monitoring the development of the situation, but is also pouring additional resources into the Middle East region. Media reported that the US is moving the aircraft carrier Dwight Eisenhower north through the Red Sea towards Israel to contain Iran.
Earlier, Tehran conveyed a message to Washington that if the United States intervened in the conflict between Israel and Iran, American forces in the region would be attacked.
Relations between Iran and Israel became quite tense after Israel launched a missile attack on Damascus in Syria on April 1, which resulted in the destruction of the Iranian consulate building. Then the IRGC generals and Iranian diplomats died.
