The Israeli military says Iran has launched a missile attack at Israel, as air raid sirens sounded across occupied Palestine and Israeli settlers rushed for shelter.

Israel’s emergency services said at least two people sustained light injuries “from shrapnel in the Tel Aviv area”.

The military had earlier warned that any ballistic missile attack from Iran was expected to be widespread and told the public to shelter in safe rooms.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said the missile attack on Israel is in response to the killing of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah last week, as well as that of the Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh earlier this year, Iran’s Fars news agency reported.

It said Iran had launched tens of missiles at Israel, and that if Israel retaliated, Tehran’s response would be “more crushing and ruinous”.

Iran’s state television said 80 percent of the missiles launched at Israel hit their targets.
