Air raid warning sounded across Israel. Flashes from air defense interceptors were seen in the sky over Tel Aviv, and dozens of explosions thundered over Jerusalem.
According to Israeli TV channel 12, the Jewish state has closed its airspace, with Iraq and Jordan making the same decision.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Joe Biden has ordered US military to provide support to Israel in defending against attacks from Iran.
Iranian news agencies reported on targets hit in Israel as a result of Tehran's massive missile strike.
Shafaqna News Agency claims that Iranian missiles destroyed more than 20 Israeli F-35 aircraft.
Tasnim News Agency reports that the missile strikes hit gas platforms near the Israeli city of Ashkelon.
Iran's state agency Fars, citing an informed source, states that at least 80 percent of Iranian missiles hit their targets during the "first wave of strikes" on Israel. It also notes that a "second wave of strikes" is expected to target Israel.
According to Mehr News Agency, three military bases in the vicinity of Tel Aviv were targeted by Iran.
Meanwhile, IDF announced that the Iranian missile attack had ended, lasting about half an hour.
"We carried out a significant number of interceptions. There were a small number of hits in the centre of Israel, and other hits in Southern Israel," said IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari. He added that there is currently no information about any Israeli casualties.
Media reports suggest that some of the missiles likely reached their targets. So far, at least two people in Tel Aviv have been reported injured with minor shrapnel wounds.
