Emergency crews were responding to dropped shells. Strong explosions were heard in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

Warnings: Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said late Friday that Iran had “crossed red lines” by shooting at civilian population centres and pledged to pay a very serious “prime”.

Early Friday, Israel launched a wave of unprecedented attacks on Iran, hitting key countries in the country's nuclear programme, as well as areas inhabited in Iran's capital, Tehran, and killing some of the country's highest-ranking military leaders. Israel had repeatedly postponed the idea of a military option to stop Iran's nuclear programme. He said Friday that Tehran had advanced a “secret program to assemble a” nuclear weapon and was closer than ever to having one. Iran has repeatedly insisted that it is not building a bomb and that its nuclear programme is for energy purposes.
