(JTA) \u2014 Iran fired multiple barrages of missiles toward northern Israel on Sunday night local time, in the first direct fire from Iran on Israel since early April.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>No one was immediately reported injured in the barrages, according to Israeli media, and the Israeli military said it shot down all the missiles aimed at the country on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

The attack came hours after a stabbing attack by an Israeli Arab on Jews in central Israel killed one person and left several others injured.<\/p>\n

The Iran salvo added to the turmoil for Israelis living in the north, who have been under constant fire from Iran\u2019s proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon, and upsetting an uneasy quiet in the rest of the country. Schools across Israel will be closed on Monday.<\/p>\n

Iranian officials said the barrage was a response to Israel\u2019s strike earlier Sunday on a Hezbollah installation in the suburbs of Beirut, which the Israeli army said targeted a command center used to direct attacks on its troops. <\/p>\n

Hezbollah last week rejected a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal that would have halted Israeli strikes in Beirut, saying that it could not abide by terms that would have required it to exit southern Lebanon.<\/p>\n

During a five-week war that Israel and the United States initiated against Iran on Feb. 28, at least two dozen Israelis were killed when Iran fired hundreds of missiles at the country in near-daily barrages. Active hostilities involving Israel ended when U.S. President Donald Trump initiated a ceasefire on April 8. He and Iran have not yet agreed to terms that would permanently end the war.<\/p>\n

Trump said he was \u201cnot happy about\u201d Israel\u2019s strike in Beirut and signaled that he did not see Iranian barrage as an impediment to a future deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s certainly not going to help negotiations,\u201d he told Fox News. \u201cWe\u2019re very close. I would say an agreement would be signed on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of this coming week. And now this takes place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Addressing Iran directly, Trump said, \u201cYou\u2019ve shot your missiles, that\u2019s enough. Get back to the table and make a deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not immediately respond publicly to the Iranian attack on Israel.<\/p>\n
