CNN: Iran launches missile attack on Israel

Iran launched missile strikes from locations across the country, including Tabriz, Kashan, and the outskirts of Tehran, late Tuesday night local time.

Social media platforms were inundated with videos that captured dramatic scenes of rocket fire illuminating the Iranian skyline.

Earlier Tuesday, the US had warned of a forthcoming attack from Iran against Israel.

The Israeli security cabinet is in an emergency bunker in Jerusalem, according to an Israeli source.

CNN teams on the ground in Israel have counted dozens of missiles flying above Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa in the past hour.
