Iran fired a fresh barrage of missiles at Israel, state television announced early Sunday, as the rivals exchanged fire for a third day.
"A new wave of Operation Honest Promise 3 began a few minutes ago," Iranian state TV reported at around 03:10 am (2340 GMT Saturday), while broadcasting live images of Israel.
This comes after Iran’s official news agency says Iranian forces are carrying out an attack targeting Israel late Saturday, saying they have targeted military targets. The missiles have reportedly hit he northern coastal city of Haifa and neighbouring town of Tamra, Israel's Channel 13 reports.
The Israeli military said Iran had launched a new salvo of missiles on Saturday and urged citizens to head to shelters.
"A short while ago, the IDF (military) identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel. Defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat," the military said. "Upon receiving an alert, the public is instructed to enter a protected space and remain there until further notice."
The army also said it is carrying out air strikes in Tehran while simultaneously working to intercept missiles launched from Iran toward Israel.
