IDF Braces for Iranian Missile Attack Within Hours After Beirut Strikes

3 articles · Updated · The Jerusalem Post · Jun 14

Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir said the IDF was preparing Sunday evening for a possible Iranian ballistic missile attack in the coming hours and told the home front to stay on high alert.
The warning followed Israeli airstrikes in Beirut earlier Sunday, which Zamir said were themselves retaliation for Hezbollah drone launches against towns in northern Israel.
No immediate civilian restrictions were imposed, but the military said home-front measures could change quickly if an Iranian strike materializes.
Around 25 Iranian missiles fired at Israel last week caused no deaths; Israeli officials expect any new attack to trigger fresh airstrikes and likely draw in President Donald Trump to contain escalation.
