Some 400 rockets were launched onto Israel on Tuesday night by Iran, The Jerusalem Post understands, following rocket alert sirens that blared throughout the country.

So far, 4 people were reportedly killed during the aerial attacks, and there have been two direct hits, one of which was in Tel Aviv.

Iran launched the wave of attacks after the IDF announced on Monday night that it had begun limited ground operations in Lebanon.

    A successful attempt, too. There’s videos of multiple missiles making it through, though fortunately they seem mostly to have landed in large outdoor spaces.

    I don’t know if we know if the missiles were proper guided missiles, or just dumb MLRS-style unguided rockets. I’d imagine it’s both, but that’s the important factor in if Iran was just flexing their capability while minimizing damage, or if this was a serious attack.
