Iran Fires 'First Wave' of Missiles At Israel Afrer US Warned of Imminent Attack

Hours after Washington warned that Iran was planning an imminent missile attack on Israel, explosions rang out in the skies over Tel Aviv.

Air raid sirens sounded across Israel shortly before 8 p.m. local time and residents were told to take shelter.

Israel's iron dome missile defense system appeared to be intercepting incoming fire.

Explosions could be heard in the skies over the city.

It was initially unclear if any missiles hit targets on the ground.

Iranian media posted videos that appeared to show missile launches but the Associated Press reported the Iranian government did not immediately acknowledge what was happening.
