TEHRAN/JERUSALEM, June 23 (Xinhua) -- Iran conducted the 21st wave of missile and drone attacks on Israel on Monday morning, reported the state-run IRIB TV.
The country has used a combination of solid- and liquid-fuel missiles in the attack as well as special tactics to render Israel's air defense ineffective, the report said.
Earlier on Monday, Iran's army announced that it had launched tens of kamikaze drones equipped with warheads towards Israel.
The Israeli military confirmed in a statement that Iran fired new missile barrages at Israel on Monday morning.
According to the statement, about 10 missiles were fired in four separate volleys, setting off sirens from Israel's north to the southern border with the Gaza Strip and forcing millions of Israelis to remain in shelters for about an hour.
Most of the missiles were intercepted, but three struck Israeli territory with no injuries reported.
According to the state-owned Kan TV, one missile hit Ashdod, a coastal city in southern Israel, while another fell in Yavneh, 15 km north of Ashdod, with the third in the northern area. Missile fragments also dropped on other sites, including a road in the Lakhish area of southern Israel, said a spokesperson for Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service. ■
