An Iranian rocket barrage targeting Israel has sparked sirens to wail in central Israel, while a series of explosions rocked Tehran.

A rocket attack carried out by Iran, which consisted of 35 rockets, hit the Israeli city of Haifa on Tuesday evening, local time.

An Israeli military spokesperson confirmed that the Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted several rockets, while others landed in open areas, causing no reported casualties.

This comes after the Israeli military had earlier reported that two people were killed in a rocket attack on an oil refinery near Haifa.

Israel's military has instructed residents to immediately seek shelter after hearing sirens, with officials saying that the situation remains fluid as Israeli forces continue to respond to Iran's aggression.

Much like the situation in Israel, in Tehran, a series of blasts shook the Iranian capital city on Tuesday morning, amid heightened tensions with Israel and growing international concerns over the rapidly escalating conflict.

The Israeli military has confirmed that it has stepped up strikes against Iran, with a top official saying that Iran's top leaders will 'pay a price' if Iran continues to fire rockets at Israeli civilians.

An Israeli official has also confirmed that Iran's top military and nuclear officials have been killed in the ongoing strikes.
