The Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the country’s military, said in a social media post X on Sunday that Iran continues to fire rockets into the territory of the State of Israel.

“Defense systems operate to intercept the threat,” the IDF added, warning citizens to enter protective spaces.

This came after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) vowed to attack Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the war with the US and Israel continues.

“We will continue to pursue and kill him with all our might,” the Guardians said of Netanyahu on Sunday in a statement posted on the Sepah News website.

Meanwhile, Iran accused the “enemy” of using copycat drones to attack neighboring countries and placed the blame on Tehran, amid intense anger over its retaliatory attacks in the Middle East.

Market implications
