IRNA said the Iranian military had dubbed its operation “Severe Punishment.”
The rumble of explosions could be heard throughout Jerusalem, and Israeli TV stations showed plumes of smoke rising in Tel Aviv after an apparent missile strike. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
The army said dozens of missiles were launched and has ordered residents across the country to move into bomb shelters.
