Iran launched hundreds of missiles towards Israel, with at least some striking Israeli territory, the BBC wrote.
It is the second attack by Iran this year, after it fired hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel in April.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the attacks were in response to Israel's killing of one of its top commanders and leaders of Iran-backed militias in the region.
Iran does not recognize Israel's right to exist and seeks its eradication. It has spent years backing paramilitary organizations opposed to Israel.
Israel believes that Iran poses an existential threat and has spent years running covert operations against Tehran.
