Israel's military warned late Friday that Iran had fired missiles toward it, as AFP correspondents reported air raid sirens in Jerusalem and explosions were heard from the city of Jericho in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.A man, thought to be around 60, was in a critical condition following the latest attack, the Magen David Adom emergency service reported, while police said three injuries of "varying severity" were recorded.
A witness shared video footage with AFP apparently showing an inbound missile barrage over Jerusalem as the military said it was scrambling search and rescue teams to impact sites in central Israel.
"A short while ago, the IDF identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel. Defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat," the military said on its official Telegram channel.
"Search and rescue forces, both reserve and regular forces, are currently operating at the sites in central Israel where reports of impact have been received," it added in a subsequent post.
Earlier Friday, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran would exact a "HEAVY price for Israeli crimes", after attacks on two of the country's largest steel factories and nuclear sites.
