Latest Situation in Israel: Sri Lankan Ambassador in Israel
Throughout last night a series of ballistic missile attacks launched from Iran targeted areas around Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. One of the missiles aimed at the Herzliya area in northern Tel Aviv was intercepted and destroyed by the Israeli Air Force and the Iron Dome defense system.
However, the resulting shockwave shattered windows and cracked walls in residential buildings. Reports also indicate that several areas experienced fires in buildings and vehicles, with over fifty injuries recorded. No Sri Lankans have been reported among the casualties.
Israeli defence authorities have stated that the emergency situation remains in effect. Tel Aviv International Airport and Israeli airspace continue to be closed.
The Embassy officials are closely monitoring the current situation. Those in need of assistance are encouraged to contact the Embassy for support.
