<p>The Israeli military said Tuesday that Iran has fired <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/world-news/article/iran-preparing-imminent-missile-attack-on-israel-us-warns-pledging-severe-consequences-23403667" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>missiles at Israel</strong></a>, and air raid sirens sounded across the country as residents were ordered to remain close to bomb shelters.</p>
<p>Israel and the United States have warned there would be severe consequences if Iran attacks.</p>
<p>The orders to shelter in place were sent to Israelis' mobile phones and announced on national television. TV stations reported sirens in parts of Jerusalem as well as central Israel.</p>
<p>The alerts were sounded after a day of rocket and missile attacks from Lebanon, and as Israel said it had begun limited ground operations in southern Lebanon.</p>
<p>Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire pounded southern Lebanese villages where people were ordered to evacuate, and Hezbollah militants responded by firing a barrage of rockets into Israel. There was no immediate word on casualties as fighting intensified and concerns of a wider regional war grew.</p>
<p>A senior White House official warned of 'severe consequences' should Iran launch a ballistic missile against Israel. US ships and aircraft are positioned in the region to assist Israel in the event of an attack from <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/iran-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Iran</strong></a>. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence.</p>
<p>Israeli military spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari also warned of consequences if Iran fired missiles into Israel.</p>
<p>He urged the public to stay close to sheltered areas.</p>
<p>"The Iranian strike could be widespread. Following Home Front Command guidelines can save lives," he said.</p>
