JERUSALEM, June 18 (Xinhua) -- Several Iranian missiles were launched toward central Israel on Wednesday evening, as the conflict between the two countries entered its sixth day.
The Israeli military released a statement saying its air defense systems were operating to intercept a new missile attack launched from Iran, urging residents to enter shelters.
Israel's state-owned Kan TV news reported later that about five missiles were launched, with at least three of them being intercepted. The broadcaster reported that some of the missiles were intercepted above Jordan and Syria.
Zaki Heler, spokesperson for Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service, said the service received no immediate reports of hits or casualties.
Earlier on Wednesday, Israel eased some of the restrictions on civilians initially imposed on Friday, when Israel launched its surprise attack on Iran, as the frequency of Iranian missile strikes began to decline. ■
