JERUSALEM: Israel’s military said Friday that its air defences were operating to down missiles fired from Iran, as Tehran keeps up its retaliatory fire on the country.
There were no immediate reports of any casualties.
The military said in a statement it had “identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel”.
It said “defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat”.
Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency services said an unintercepted missile hit central Israel, injuring no one but causing damage to homes, roads and some cars.
According to Israeli military radio, a train station in Tel Aviv was damaged by shrapnel, without saying from where it had been fired.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said in a statement published by broadcaster IRIB early Friday that it had targeted areas of Tel Aviv and the port city of Eilat with long-range missiles.
