On March 5, from the evening of March 4 to the morning of March 5 local time, according to a statement from the Israel Defense Forces, Iran launched missiles at Israel three times, attacking Tel Aviv, Haifa, and several other locations in central Israel. Air raid sirens were sounded in Jerusalem and other areas. Hezbollah in Lebanon also launched rocket attacks into northern Israel. No casualties have been reported so far.
On the evening of the 4th, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office issued its first press briefing since the war. The Prime Minister's spokesperson stated that Iran is launching multiple missile attacks into Israel daily, with several directly hitting residential areas. The briefing stated that Israel is currently conducting ongoing strikes against Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon, aiming to eliminate the Iranian threat and completely disarm Hezbollah.
Furthermore, the Israeli Homeland Defense Command stated that, based on the latest combat assessment, defense guidelines will be adjusted starting from the 5th. From 12:00 on the 5th to 20:00 on the 7th, all areas will transition from the "essential activity level" to the "limited activity level," meaning the overall defense level has been downgraded—schools will remain closed, but work and gatherings of a certain degree can proceed appropriately, provided protective measures are in place.
