Sirens and explosions in Iran and Israel

The Iranian leader Ayatollah Khamenei says Israel has "launched a war" and will suffer heavy blows in return.

Sirens have again been sounding across Israel, as Iran continues to fire retaliatory airstrikes. Loud blasts were heard earlier in cities including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The Israeli military says it's been intercepting missiles through the night.
