Nearly 200 missiles have been launched at Israel from Iran, Israel’s army radio announced.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards have threatened “crushing attacks” for Israel if it responds to the missile barrage launched on Tuesday evening.
Iran has launched a missile attack on Israel’s commercial hub Tel Aviv, state media reported, citing officials.
The official IRNA news agency said Iran had launched “a missile attack on Tel Aviv”, without elaborating after staying quiet during the start of the barrage.
Explosions sounded in Jerusalem on Tuesday evening as air raid sirens rang out, AFP journalists reported, with what appeared to be air defence interceptors echoing over the city.
The explosions came shortly after the military said that Iran had launched a missile attack targeting Israel.
