Moment Palestinians cheer Iran missile strike as they celebrate with debris | World | News




The Israeli ambulance service has confirmed that several people have been treated for minor injuries, although the cause of the injuries remains unclear.

Despite many missiles being shot down, the debris from these can still pose a threat to people on the ground as the remnants of the missile make their way to earth.

Within the last hour, the IDF has given the all-clear for citizens to leave their bomb shelters but has told people to remain close by in case further missiles are launched.

The Iranian attack is seen as an escalation to their previous attack in April where hundreds of drones were launched in Israel’s direction.

On that occasion, the significantly slower pace of the drones gave Israel and its allies the time to shoot many of them down across the Middle East.

The US and UK had warned in advance of the strike that there would be serious consequences should Iran go through with it.

Keir Starmer is understood to have spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Jordanian King Abdullah II, a neighbour of Israel and regular mediator in the region.

US President Joe Biden said on X: "This morning, the VP and I convened our national security team to discuss Iranian plans to launch an imminent missile attack against Israel.

"We discussed how the United States is prepared to help Israel defend against these attacks, and protect American personnel in the region."
