Hossein Salami, commander-in-chief of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), announced the launch of 200 missiles towards Israel, Tasnim news agency reported. 

The Israeli military on Tuesday vowed to carry out attacks throughout the Middle East to retaliate against the Iranian attacks. It said around 200 missiles were fired by Iran at Israel in the evening, adding the attacks' impact was still under review. 

Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari confirmed that several missiles hit central and southern Israel, and "quite a few" were intercepted by air defense systems.

Amid Iran's night attack, a Palestinian man, originally from the Gaza Strip, was killed by a shrapnel in a village near Jericho in the occupied West Bank, Israel's state-owned Kan TV news reported, while Israeli Magen David Adom rescue service said two people in Tel Aviv sustained minor injuries. There has been no immediate report of fatalities within Israel yet.
