Israelis were allowed to leave their protected areas after remaining in shelters for 40 minutes

Tel Aviv: After 40 minutes in shelters, Israelis were allowed to leave their fortified zones Monday, marking the longest state of alert in the nation’s eleven-day war with Iran.

Iran fired four volleys of at least 15 missiles. Emergency services received calls from seven crash locations in the north, south, and lowlands, but there were no immediate indications of Israeli fatalities.

Over 1,300 people have been wounded and 24 people killed by Iran’s missile assaults. Over 25,000 building damage claims have been submitted to the Israel Tax Authority.

On June 13, Israel began preemptive attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, claiming that Tehran had advanced to “a point of no return” in its nuclear weapons development.

Iran has the ability to quickly enrich uranium and put together nuclear bombs, with enough fissile material for up to 15 warheads, according to Israeli defense officials.

Additionally, a secret scheme to finish all the parts of a nuclear bomb was revealed by Israeli intelligence. The attacks signaled a sharp increase in what authorities say is a larger Iranian plan that combines missile proliferation, nuclear development, and proxy wars to destroy Israel.
