Sirens were activated in Bahrain on Thursday at 11:05 Jerusalem, according to a report by ynet. The alert comes amid an ongoing Iranian missile barrage, as earlier reported by analyst Yossi Eliezer. No reports of interceptions or casualties yet.
At 11:05 Jerusalem, the Israeli news outlet ynet reported that sirens were activated again in Bahrain. The alert marks the latest in a rapidly escalating series of warnings in the country Thursday, amid an ongoing Iranian missile barrage that The Zioneer has been tracking since early morning.
The sequence of events, as reported by The Zioneer today, began with initial Iranian claims of missile launches toward Qatar and Bahrain (thread version 1, Thu 03:36 Jerusalem), followed by reports of ballistic missiles targeting US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar (version 2). Sirens in Bahrain and Kuwait were then reported (version 3). A second siren activation in Bahrain was reported by Yedioth Ahronoth (version 4), and additional sirens at 10:59 Jerusalem (version 5). At 11:02, three explosions and sirens were reported (version 6), and at 11:04, analyst Yossi Eliezer attributed the sirens to Iranian missile launches (version 7). A further siren was reported by ynet at 11:05. The source of the alerts has evolved from single Iranian reports to multiple Israeli media outlets (Yedioth Ahronoth, N12, ynet) and analyst confirmation.
The alerts come in the context of US strikes on Iranian sites, as reported by The Zioneer on Thursday (thread versions 1, 4, 5). The Zioneer has also reported on a new batch of explosions in Bahrain at 04:57 Jerusalem (SAME-THREAD context) and sirens at 04:54 (version 8 summary).
The cause of the specific siren activation at 11:05 remains unconfirmed. No reports of interceptions or casualties have been received. The situation remains fluid.
