Missiles launched from Iran lit up the night sky of Tel Aviv, Israel, on Tuesday, Oct. 1, following a warning from the United States that an attack was “imminent” from Tehran. Israelis reportedly headed toward bomb shelters as sirens blared and explosions could be heard above Tel Aviv.
Dozens of missiles were reported flying over the city, while several were intercepted.
Iran’s attack follows an Israeli ground invasion meant to target Hezbollah in southern Lebanon just days after Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
The U.S. announced it is “actively supporting” Israel’s “defensive preparations,” and Pentagon officials said they were tracking missiles in the air.
No attacks targeting U.S. troops have been reported at the time of the publishing of this report.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris met with their national security team earlier on Tuesday to discuss Iran’s planned attack and how to best “protect U.S. personnel in the region.”
As missiles continued toward Israel on Tuesday, a separate violent incident occurred.
Authorities said that two gunmen opened fire at a train station in Jaffa, just south of Tel Aviv. The shooting killed at least four people and injured several others. A police spokesperson said the attackers were among those killed.
