- Story Text: Sirens sounded in different parts of Israel and in Jerusalem on Wednesday (March 4) alerting the public of incoming missiles launched from Iran towards the country.
Missiles were seen being intercepted in the Jerusalem sky.
Emergency services said that at this stage, there are no known casualties.
A day after U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave open-ended answers when asked how long the war would last, a source told Reuters that Israel's campaign had been planned to last two weeks and was moving faster.
The source, familiar with Israel's war plan, said its aim was to overthrow Iran's clerical rulers, and there was no firm deadline to achieve it.
But the Israeli military was going through its target list faster than planned, with early success killing Iran's leaders and taking out its defences, the source said.
