STORYLINE:

The Israeli army said a combined attack of dozens of ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones from Iran triggered air raid alerts across Israel early on Sunday.

The projectiles triggered sirens in Jerusalem, the Negev Desert and the Dead Sea in the south, the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights in the north as well as the occupied West Bank.

"Here I'm in Jerusalem. Starting from Saturday night, Iran launched a large-scale drone and missile attack on Israel. At around 2 a.m. local time, sirens and explosions were heard in multiple cities, including here in Jerusalem. Israel Defense Forces spokesman said that the army is fully operational to intercept objects, and ready to counter any threats."

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) confirmed that it had launched missile and drone attacks on Israel.               

Israel's state-owned Kan TV news reported that out of about 400-500 drones that have been launched, about 100 were intercepted before reaching Israel by allied countries, adding that the drones were also launched from other countries allied with Iran.

Citing an anonymous senior Israeli official, it also reported that Israel is planning to launch a "significant response" to the attack.

Meanwhile, speaking on condition of anonymity, two Israeli officials confirmed to Xinhua that several cruise missiles were also launched from Iran toward Israel.

Israel has been on heightened alert over the past few days following Iranian threats to avenge the killing of seven Iranian officers in its consular building in Damascus, Syria, earlier in April.
