Iran struck Israel Sunday morning with a barrage of ballistic missiles, hours after American bombers hit three key nuclear facilities in Iran.

At 7:30 a.m., warning sirens were sounded across Israel after ballistic missile launches were reported in Iran.

Earlier on Sunday morning, a number of suicide drones were intercepted en route to northern Israel, the IDF said.

At least 30 ballistic missiles were detected in bound from Iran, with Israel’s air defense network successfully shooting down most of the incoming projectiles.

However, missiles or cluster bombs deployed by missiles were reported landing in 10 different sites in central and northern Israel, including several direct missile hits.

Injuries have also been reported at multiple locations across Israel, including at the scene of a direct missile hit on an apartment building in central Israel.

The Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency first responder organization treated dozens of victims, including a 30-year-old man in moderate condition who was wounded in his upper body by shrapnel, with most of the others listed in light condition.

One apartment building which suffered a direct hit was heavily damaged, with one side of the building cleaved off by the strike, leaving the apartment units inside exposed.

The United Hatzalah emergency service reported that teams were searching for survivors at the scene of another missile strike in central Israel, which demolished several buildings.

United Hatzalah paramedics reported treating several dozen people following Thursday morning’s attacks. Most of the injured are listed in light condition, with several in moderate condition.

According to Israel’s Health Ministry, a total of 86 people were injured in the attacks, including 2 who suffered moderate injuries, 77 in light condition, four treated for acute anxiety, and three whose condition has not been disclosed.

In addition to multiple direct hits in central Israel, a missile impact was also reported in the northern Israeli city of Haifa.

In total, three direct missile hits were reported, including in Haifa, Ness Ziona, and Tel Aviv.
