Iran fires dozens of rockets on Israel as Tehran reels from massive attack

Iran launched hundreds of rockets at Israel in a second wave of attacks, causing some injuries and damage, as night fell after a day which began with Israel launching massive strikes across Iran overnight on Friday.

Israel's attacks targeted Tehran's nuclear programme, killing Revolutionary Guard Commander Hossein Salami, Chief of Staff Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, and Emergency Forces Commander Gholam Rashid and other military officials, as well as at least six top nuclear scientists.

In response, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said Iran had launched "approximately 100 UAVs towards Israeli territory," which were successfully neutralised.

Meanwhile, Israeli jets have struck multiple targets in the Iranian cities of Tabriz and Shiraz midday on Friday, according to Iran's state-run media.

US President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran was given a 60-day ultimatum to reach a nuclear agreement before Israel launched airstrikes on Iranian territory.

The Trump administration has insisted that Washington was not involved in Israel’s military operation.

Review how Friday unfolded as Euronews reporters from the region and around the world brought updates and reactions from the dramatic events in the Middle East.
