Spokesman Hagari spoke again. He called on everyone to go to shelters as soon as they hear sirens.

Nevatim is the location of an Israeli air base.

A nuclear reactor is located in the Israeli suburb of Dimona, and Eilat is Israel's southern port on the Red Sea, which has been attacked by Yemeni Houthis since the start of the war in Gaza.
