Iran fired several hundred missiles towards Israel on 1 October at 7:39 p.m. This attack follows a warning from a senior White House official that the United States had indications of an imminent Iranian ballistic missile strike against Israel.

Israeli media are saying the fast-moving missiles are "an upping of the ante" with the delivery of the Iranian ballistic missiles and the first delivery of several being sent from Iran.

Israeli media have reported several reports of injuries across the Tel Aviv area, including one bus driver in the city who was injured. 

A US official stated, "We are actively supporting defensive preparations to defend Israel against this attack," emphasizing that "a direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran."

This marks Iran's second major assault on Israel this year, following an April attack that was successfully thwarted by a coalition of five armies: Israel, the US, France, Jordan, and the United Kingdom.

While the current attack involves 102 missiles as reported so far, US officials anticipate it could potentially surpass the scale of the April offensive, which consisted of 120 ballistic missiles, 170 drones, and dozens of cruise missiles.

In response to the threat, Israel's Security Cabinet has convened an emergency meeting scheduled for 19:30 in a bunker in Jerusalem, as reported by Israeli media.
