On Monday morning, June 8, the Israeli military announced that it had detected the firing of ballistic missiles from Iran toward its territory.
According to the Israeli military's statement, the country's air defense systems were activated to intercept the missiles, and sirens sounded in several regions. Israeli officials urged citizens to follow safety instructions and proceed to shelters or safe areas when warnings were announced.
Meanwhile, the public relations office of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that the IRGC Aerospace Force had launched "Operation Nasr" against two airbases, Nevatim and Tel Nof, in Israel.
The IRGC statement said the operation began with the "targeting of the vital centers of the strategic Nevatim and Tel Nof airbases" under the code "Ya Haydar al-Karrar." The IRGC dedicated the operation to those killed in the "12-day war."
Israeli media outlets also reported that warning sirens sounded across parts of the country, including central regions, and that air defense systems went into action to counter potential threats.
These developments came after the Israeli military announced on Monday morning that it had struck military targets in western and central Iran in response to the initial missile attacks by the Islamic Republic. Simultaneously, officials of the Islamic Republic also confirmed that targets inside Iran had been attacked.
