Operation "Cruel Punishment", as this action was called, is ongoing.

As the media reports, ballistic missiles were launched.

In the sky above Tel Aviv fierce battles of Israeli aviation and anti-aircraft systems against Iranian missiles are taking place.

Live footage from Tel Aviv can be found on YouTube, showing a fierce battle in the sky, but also how some missiles fell on the city.

As the Israeli army has just announced, Iran launched a second wave of missile attacks.

"The firing has continued. Another barrage of dozens of rockets has been launched towards the State of Israel. Please continue to follow the instructions of the Home Front Command and the instructions being distributed to you. The explosions you hear are caused by the interception or crashes of the planes," the IDF spokesman said.

Alerts activated

"The air defense system constantly identifies and intercepts threats. A short time ago, warnings were activated in several parts of the country after the discovery of missiles launched from Iran into the territory of the State of Israel," he added.

The public is asked to follow instructions from the Home Front Command.

"Currently, the Air Force is working to intercept and strike wherever necessary to eliminate the threat. The defense is not air-tight and therefore Home Front Command instructions must continue to be followed."

And the Iranian news agency IRNA announced that the second wave of attacks on Israel had begun.
