Hegseth gives major update on Iranian conflict

There were no immediate reports of casualties, the AFP report said.
After a lull of more than seven hours, Israel’s military issued three separate alerts warning of Iranian missile fire in under two hours.


Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB also reported the launches. Explosions were heard in Jerusalem after the third reported launch. But Israel’s emergency services, the Magen David Adom, said it had received no reports of casualties after early Thursday’s rocket fire, and the military had cleared people to leave their shelters.


On Wednesday, the military’s Home Front Command had said it would ease some war-related restrictions effective midday Thursday, citing a decline in the number of missiles fired by Iran.
Agence France-Presse also reports that in Israel’s north near the border, repeated air raid alerts sent residents to shelters in several locations, with no immediate reports of impact or casualties.


Hezbollah’s leader vowed on Wednesday to keep up its fight against Israel and step up attacks, saying the group had targeted Israeli positions as far as Tel Aviv in at least 15 attacks.


“We are facing aggression… our choice is to confront it until the ultimate sacrifice, and we will not surrender,” Naim Qᴀssem declared in his first speech since the latest fighting broke out. “For us this is an existential defence.”
