Warning sirens sounded across Israel on Friday as Iran fired dozens of ballistic missiles in a retaliatory attack after Israel launched overnight airstrikes.
Around 100 missiles were fired from Iran in two salvos, officials said. Israel has a robust missile defense system known as the
Iron Dome, which intercepted most of the missiles, the Israel Defense Forces said. The IDF reported a limited number of hits on structures, some from interception failures.
Video and photos show a number of buildings damaged or on fire, though the full extent of the damage is not yet clear. The IDF reported that 21 people had been injured and two were in serious condition.

A U.S. official and a White House official confirmed to CBS News that the United States helped Israel intercept Iranian missiles.
During the strikes, U.S. troops at two bases in the Middle East were ordered into bunkers. Troops at Union III in the Green Zone in Baghdad, Iraq, and Al-Tanf Garrison in Syria spent about an hour in the bunkers, CBS News confirmed.
A third wave of missiles is not expected, CBS News contributor Robert Berger reported, and people in Israel have been told they can leave their bomb shelters.

The retaliatory action from Iran came after Israel launched over 200 airstrikes on Iran, continuing a
major operation that began overnight, IDF spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said Friday. Israel's airstrikes are continuing, Defrin said.

Iran's U.N. ambassador said Friday that 78 people killed and over 320 were injured in Israeli attacks.
Israel first launched airstrikes on Iran early Friday and announced its operation was targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, scientists and senior military commanders.
Tehran responded by launching more than 100 drones at Israel on Friday morning, Israel's military said. Defrin said earlier Friday that Israel's air defenses had worked to "intercept the threats." Later Friday, an Israeli military official told reporters that while the threat wasn't over, Israel had managed to intercept many of Iran's UAVs.
"Throughout the day, we once again demonstrated our ability to remove threats in a coordinated, precise and daring manner," Defrin said Friday night local time.
