“We saw the warning from the Israeli Home Front Command about incoming missiles detected from Iran. The area covered was in northern Israel, so Haifa and the surrounding area,” Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh reports from Amman.

“There is still a lack of clarity as to how many missiles were launched and why we didn’t hear any sirens here in Amman as has been the case in previous instances.

“While the Israeli army statement says the missiles came from Iran, we haven’t seen any statement from Iran itself, and we don’t know if any or all of the missiles have been intercepted,” she said.

“If it is confirmed these missiles did come from Iran, we might see Israeli retaliation in those remaining hours of that window [before Israel’s side of the ceasefire comes into effect].

“This is a reminder of how tenuous and precarious all of this is,” Odeh said.
