Iran’s anticipated ballistic missile attack against Israel is now underway, according to Fox News Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst, citing an Israeli source.

Yingst said initial reports indicate that around 100 missiles have been fired toward Israel.

The Israeli Defense Forces also said in a statement that “A short while ago, missiles were launched from Iran towards the State of Israel.”

“In the last few minutes, the Home Front Command has distributed life-saving instructions in various areas across the country,” the IDF said. “The public is asked to adhere to the Home Front Command’s guidelines. Upon hearing a siren, you must enter a protected space and remain there until further notice.”

Sirens could be heard going off across Israel during the attack.

“The IDF is doing and will continue to do everything necessary to protect the civilians of Israel. The IDF is fully prepared for both defense and offense at peak readiness,” IDF Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a statement.

“Continue to act responsibly and keep calm, as you have done so far, and make sure to follow the guidelines. We are strong and can handle this event as well,” he added.
