Haifa: Air raid sirens sounded in Haifa and surrounding areas in northern Israel on Wednesday evening after a missile barrage from Iran, Israeli media reported.

According to Anadolu Agency, Channel 12 said that alarms were activated in Haifa, Krayot, and nearby areas, as well as the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, after missiles were detected from Iran. Israeli media aired footage of air defenses intercepting the incoming missiles. No injuries or damage were reported.

The channel reported that the barrage was the ninth wave of missiles fired by Iran toward Israel since Tuesday midnight. Regional escalations have continued as Israel and the US have maintained a joint offensive on Iran since February 28, resulting in around 1,300 fatalities, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets, causing casualties and damage to infrastructure while disrupting global markets and aviation.
