Israel Intercepts New Wave of Iranian Missiles as Military Issues Shelter Directives

JERUSALEM, March 4, 2026 — The Israeli military confirmed early Wednesday that a new barrage of missiles has been launched from Iran toward Israeli territory, triggering air raid sirens across large portions of the country, including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

In an official statement, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that national defense systems are currently active and working to “intercept the threat” following the detection of the incoming projectiles. Members of the public have been strictly requested to enter protective shelters immediately and remain in place until further notice.

Military officials emphasized that residents must stay in protected spaces until receiving an explicit directive to exit, urging the population to continue acting in strict accordance with the Home Front Command’s safety guidelines to ensure their protection during the ongoing escalation.
