GB News halted as show interrupted by air sirens in Tel | UK News

Home and Security Editor Mark White was pressured to interrupt GB News on Monday, following reviews of air raid sirens in Tel Aviv.

Halting the programme, the journalist said: “Ok, just before we cross to newspapers, we want to bring you an update again on the situation in Israel. Hopefully we’ve got images of Tel Aviv live this morning, where the sirens have just sounded.”

As GB News aired a chilling clip of the town, White continued: “If you just have a listen to this, this is the sirens sounding just a minute ago. So the air raid sirens are sounding there over Tel Aviv, central Israel and also northern Israel [because of] incoming ballistic missiles from Iran as yet another wave has come in.

“There have been two waves already this morning of ballistic missile assaults. This is the third. We had about two or three waves last night time so it’s completely persevering with into this morning, which is understandably a worrying indication of where we is perhaps headed in phrases of retaliatory strikes.”

A shocking development, Israel and Iran traded fire overnight, putting an end to the ceasefire agreed upon in April, with Iran sending a barrage of missiles at Israel on Sunday evening, which were intercepted. In response, Tel Aviv has since targeted numerous locations, including a petrochemical complex in the southwest of Iran.

Israeli military said in a statement: “A short while in the past, the IDF recognized missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel. Defensive systems are working to intercept the risk.

“In the past few minutes, the Home Front Command has sent a precautionary directive directly to mobile phones in the relevant areas. The public is asked to act responsibly and follow the instructions—they save lives. Upon receiving an alert, the public is instructed to enter a protected space and remain there until further notice.”

With tensions rising, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is predicted to maintain a cupboard assembly today at 11am local time. Israeli media reviews have urged that Netanyahu and a choose group of senior ministers and security officers will focus on navy, security and diplomatic responses to the scenario.
