Israeli emergency workers sent to missile impact sites in country’s south


Search and rescue personnel have been deployed to several areas in southern Israel following reports of missile impacts in the country, the Israeli military said.

“The public is requested to avoid gathering in these areas,” the military said in a brief message posted on X.

There was no immediate information on possible casualties or damage sustained during the attacks.


More on latest IRGC attack against Israeli targets


Earlier, we reported on the launch of a new wave of Iranian missiles towards Israel.

In a statement published by the state-run IRIB, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) confirmed the attack on Israel in the early hours of Tuesday.

The IRGC said in the statement that “Iranian missiles pass[ed] through several Israeli missile defences”.

Israel’s military later reported that “rescue and recovery forces” were deployed to a site in northern Israel, “where reports of an impact have been received”.

Israel’s emergency services said a man was in stable condition after suffering a shrapnel wound following an overnight attack.





Crypto-based prediction betting sites Polymarket and rival Kalshi have both tightened rules to prevent insider trading following a series of suspiciously well-timed bets on the US-Israeli war on Iran and after the US abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro earlier this year.

In one of the latest examples, eight accounts on Polymarket created on Saturday placed big bets on the chance of an Iran ceasefire shortly before Trump announced his intentions of “winding down” military operations there, according to The Guardian newspaper.

The accounts bet nearly $70,000 on the prediction, and stand to win $820,000 if a ceasefire is reached before March 31, The Guardian said. A similarly well-timed bet was made in advance of the US and Israel’s February 28 strike on Iran.

Polymarket users have bet nearly $39m on predictions that the US and Iran will reach a ceasefire by several benchmark dates between March and December. Only 14 percent of users have currently bet that a ceasefire will be reached by March 31.

Earlier this year, a mystery Polymarket trader made $400,000 on a bet that Maduro would be ousted shortly before US special forces abducted him, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The latest missile has actually just fallen a short while ago and is said to have fallen harmlessly in an open area in central Israel.

This had been detected a short while before by the Israeli military, which raised the alarm. Sirens sounded in the Tel Aviv area, as well as parts of the occupied West Bank.

This comes at the end of another long night of missile activity from Monday evening through to the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Mainly targeting broad swaths of Israel in the centre of the country and in the north, alarms were raised around the Jerusalem area, Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Western Galilee.

It is understood that at least one of these missiles contained cluster warheads, which came down spreading multiple bomblets, and we saw damage being recorded around the port city of Haifa.An Iranian missile flies towards Israel, as seen from Tel Aviv, Israel, on March 12, 2026 [Dylan Martinez/Reuters]



Israel’s air defence system has been activated after the military detected new incoming missiles from Iran, the military said in a message posted on Telegram.

“In the past few minutes, the Home Front Command has sent a precautionary directive directly to mobile phones in the relevant areas,” the military said.

The military has directed the public to enter a protected space and remain there until further notice.




The Financial Times reports that traders bet more than half a billion dollars on oil futures in the 15 minutes before President Trump announced yesterday that the US had held two days of “very good and productive conversations” with Iran.

Oil futures are contracts that buy and sell oil at a pre-determined price. They are used as a hedge against price volatility because they lock in oil at a certain price, but contracts are also traded on the market.

Analysis of Bloomberg data shows that 6,200 Brent and West Texas Intermediate oil contracts were traded between 6.49am and 6.50am New York time (10:49 and 10:50 GMT) – just 15 minutes before Trump’s announcement, the FT said.

Traders likely made a fortune, although the exact number is unknown.

Trump’s Truth Social post – shared on Monday morning local time and immediately denied by Tehran – sent the price of oil tumbling, triggering a global sell-off in oil.

The FT said the high volume of trade so close to Trump’s announcement has raised eyebrows in the financial world. It also follows a slew of recent high-profile betting on sites such as Polymarket that have been timed extraordinarily close to major White House decisions – raising questions of insider trading.

“My gut from watching markets for the last 25 years is this is really abnormal,” a portfolio manager told the UK newspaper.

“It’s an unusually large trade for a day with no event risk… Somebody just got a lot richer,” the manager said.
