The Israeli military announced on Sunday night that missiles had been launched from Iran towards Israel, adding that the Israeli Air Force is working to intercept the threats.
In a statement, the military said air raid sirens had been activated in several areas across Israel following the detection of missiles launched from Iran.
Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the Israeli military had identified approximately four missile launches directed towards Israel.
The Israeli military's Home Front Command said that schools across the country would be shut on Monday after Iran fired missiles at Israel, AFP reported.
"Following an assessment of the situation, the Home Front Command has decided to modify the instructions and place the entire country under a restricted activity level," the command said in a statement Sunday night. "No educational activities may be conducted."
Iran's military central command said that Israel's latest strike on the southern Beirut suburbs had "crossed all red lines", demanding a halt to its campaign in Lebanon.
"The Israeli army must stop its attacks on southern Lebanon and the suburbs, and if it expands its attacks to that region or responds to Iran's action, it will face more devastating and regrettable blows," said General Ali Abollahi, the head of the Khatam al-Anbiya command, without directly mentioning missile salvos that Israel said it was intercepting.
