Iran says it will launch retaliatory strikes on Israel all night

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced it will strike Israel from Monday night until the early hours of Tuesday morning "without interruption". 

"The ninth wave of combined drone and missile attacks has begun and will continue without interruption until dawn," said the IRGC's spokesman, Ali Mohammad Naini, according to Iran's IRNA news agency.

Israel conducted unprovoked military strikes on Iran in the early hours of Friday morning, leading to hundreds of deaths and the bombing of multiple sites in Iran, with Iran then responding with retaliatory attacks on Israel.

In the wave of mutual attacks, Israel has killed at least 224 civilians in Iran since the onset of the conflict. Iran has killed at least 24 people in its attacks on Israel.
