JERUSALEM, June 8, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - AFP journalists heard at least eight explosions over Jerusalem on Monday as Israel said it was intercepting a new wave of Iranian missiles.

The Israeli army wrote on Telegram it had "identified missiles launched from Iran" and was working to intercept the threat.

An AFP journalist in Jerusalem witnessed at least one interception as residents hurried to shelters in the city.

Israel's emergency service provider Magen David Adom said there were no reports of any casualties.

Iran has launched multiple waves of missiles towards Israel since Sunday evening, rattling a fragile truce between the two countries engulfed in the Middle East war.
