Israeli army says working to intercept Iranian missiles

Israel's military said it was working to intercept missiles launched from Iran, as air raid sirens were heard in Tel Aviv and explosions rocked Jerusalem. 

"A short while ago, sirens sounded in several areas across Israel following the identification of missiles launched from Iran toward the state of Israel," the military said.

"At this time, the [Israeli Air Force] is operating to intercept and strike where necessary to eliminate the threat."

Iranian state media said that 30 missiles had been launched towards Israel from Iran.
