By Alexander Cornwell, Parisa Hafezi and Jeff Mason TEL AVIV/DUBAI/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Iranian missiles struck Israel's Tel Aviv and the port city of Haifa before dawn on Monday, killing at least eight people and destroying homes,

The Israel Defense Forces said alerts were activated in several areas of the country after the detection of missiles launched from Iran toward Israel. The Air Force was working to intercept them, the IDF said.

A volley of missiles launched by Iran killed eight people and injured nearly 100 in Israel on Monday as the conflict between the two countries entered its fourth day.

Onlookers gathered on Saturday at a central Tel Aviv residential building next door to Israel’s defense headquarters that was damaged after it took a hit from what appeared to be shrapnel from an overnight missile barrage from Iran.

"Another barrage of dozens of rockets was launched" towards Israel, the statement adds. The IDF says that the explosions people are hearing "originate from interceptions or impacts". We've been hearing from Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei who says Iran “will inflict heavy blows” after Israel “launched war”.

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency says there is a possibility of both radiological and chemical contamination within Iran’s main nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz

Iran launched a wave of missiles just hours after Israel said it was striking missile sites in central Iran. Israel says it hit Quds Force command centers.
