Iran strikes across central Israel prevent El Al flights from landing

An El Al repatriation flight was prevented from landing at Ben-Gurion Airport by Iranian strikes, N12 reported on Thursday morning.

The plane was reportedly only a minute from touching down when sirens sounded across central Israel, forcing it to climb back up.

A similar incident was reported on Thursday evening amid a renewed wave of missile strikes from Iran and Lebanon, as an El Al plane that was about to land in Israel from Geneva, was forced to turn around before landing.

Several waves of Iranian missiles were launched against Israel later on Thursday, with no injuries reported to Magen David Adom or United Hatzalah, except for people getting injured while running to a safe room.

An officer and soldier from the IDF's Givati Brigade were wounded in combat in southern Lebanon on Thursday evening, the military said in an evening statement.

The officer was severely wounded while the soldier was moderately injured, the IDF said, adding that both were evacuated to a hospital to receive medical treatment and that their families had been notified.

Sirens continued blaring in northern Israel throughout the day. The IDF said earlier Thursday that a drone was spotted crossing Israel's northern border. No injuries were reported in the incident.

Reports suggested fragments of missiles launched from Iran and Lebanon falling in several locations in central Israel.

On Thursday evening, missile fragments hit the cities of Tiberias and Kiryat Shmona in northern Israel, causing damage to several shops and cars, Israel's Fire and Rescue Service said.

Some 2,436 Israelis have been evacuated from their homes since the war with Iran began, according to data released Thursday by Israel's National Insurance.

More strikes across central Israel later on Thursday reportedly led to a hit on the West Bank city of Nablus, according to unconfirmed reports on social media.

Magen David Adom did not report any injuries in this round of missiles from Iran.
