Israel says intercepting Iran missile attack, first after Trump speech

Israel's military said air defenses were responding to an Iranian missile attack on Thursday, shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump delivered an address to the American public about the Middle East war.

The military said in a statement it had "identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel" for the third time in just over three hours, adding that "defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat".

Air raid sirens sounded across northern Israel, according to the military's Home Front Command, and there were no immediate reports of any casualties or damage.
