In recent hours, Iran has retaliated with missile strikes of its own, at least some of which broke through Israel’s Iron Dome defence system and exploded in the city Tel Aviv. Residents have been told to stay in bomb shelters when instructed to by the authorities.

The Israeli military on Saturday said that a new wave of missiles has been launched from Iran towards Israel, reported Reuters. Israel said that Iranian missile struck near homes in central Israel, injuring 10 people.

Israel launched its offensive against Iran's nuclear and military infrastructure on Friday. Iran has retaliated to the Israeli airstrike by firing scores of ballistic missiles on Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
