Israeli Military Says Iran has Fired Missiles at Israel

Meanwhile, sirens sound across the country

Iran has fired missiles at Israel, the country's military said in a statement Tuesday. Sirens could be heard across the country as people took shelter.

The attack comes after a White House official said that Iran was preparing an imminent ballistic missile attack against Israel. The United States was "actively supporting" Israel's "defensive preparations," the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter. "A direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran."

The attack follows Israel's killing of Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah, a key Tehran ally, and the start of an Israeli ground incursion into southern Lebanon.
