Reports of further attacks on both Iran and Israel

Both Israel and Iran reported signs of new airstrikes, with Israel saying it had identified incoming missiles from Iran and reports in Iran saying the country had activated its air defences.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it is “operating to intercept and strike where necessary” after reporting incoming Iranian missiles on its Telegram channel.

The IDF said its defences are not foolproof so residents should follow instructions from the Home Front Command. Sirens wailed in many parts of the country.

So far there have been two waves of Iranian attacks, following Israel’s initial attack overnight into Friday morning. Israeli media have reported at least 63 injured.

In Iran, eyewitnesses and local media reporting explosions in the centre and northeast of Tehran.

There were initially no reports of damage or casualties. Residents spoke of loud explosions. Observers assumed that the attacks targeted a nuclear facility in the north of the city.
