Iranian state television announced on Friday that it had launched 100 hypersonic missiles toward Israel, as part of Tehran's response to Tel Aviv's attack on it.
For its part, IRNA announced the launch of hundreds of ballistic missiles towards Israel.
The Israeli military announced that it had detected missile launches from Iran toward the Jewish state and ordered all residents to head to bomb shelters and fortified rooms.
The army said in a statement that it "detected missile launches from Iran toward Israeli territory, where air defense systems are operating to intercept threats," urging residents to head to shelters "and remain there until further notice."
The Israeli military said that "all of Israel is under fire as Iran launches missiles." Shortly after the Israeli announcement, AFP journalists heard air raid sirens and explosions in the skies over Jerusalem, and plumes of smoke rose over Tel Aviv.
