Iran launched a wave of more than 40 missiles at northern and central Israel, leaving at least 86 people injured. The attack came just hours after Israel and the United States launched a coordinated attack on Iran, which included the bombing of three of its nuclear sites.

Israel's health ministry reported that of those who arrived at hospitals, two people were moderately wounded and 77 others were in good condition.

Israeli local media reported residential areas in Tel Aviv and the central town of Nes Ziona being struck. Tel Aviv's Deputy Mayor Haim Goren said that hundreds of homes were damaged in the attacks.

Meanwhile in the northern city of Haifa, an IDF spokesperson said an Israeli air defence interceptor malfunctioned and crashed during the Iranian attack, causing damage and lightly wounding several people.

Israel and Iran have been exchanging fire ever since Israel launched an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities on June 13.

So far, at least 25 people have been killed in Israel, according to Israeli local media. In Iran, at least 430 people have been killed in Israeli strikes, according to the country's Health Ministry.
