Iran struck first in the second night of strikes with explosions reported across residential regions in the country.
Haifa and Tel Aviv were said to be the main targets with air raid sirens also been sounded in Amman, the capital of Jordan.
Around 100 missiles are said to have been launched in Iran's follow-up wave of their operation "True Promise 3", according to state TV.
Several injures have been reported with a woman in her 20s killed in Western Galilee.
The Israeli military responded by carrying out air strikes in Tehran while they worked to intercept the Iranian missiles.
Israeli planes attacked four targets in Tehran with the Ministry of Defense, the nuclear headquarters, nuclear laboratories, and oil facilities all hit.
Footage online shows the Shahran oil depot up in flames after a pinpoint strike.
It comes as Tehran vowed to strike US, UK and French military bases in the region if they step in to try and defend Israel.
Israel's allies across the world have in the past helped Tel Aviv shoot down missiles fired from Iran during previous clashes between the two enemy powers.
But as the situation escalates towards full-scale war - Iranian state media reported they consider US, UK and French forces the firing line.
It warned Tehran would target military bases and ships located in the region if the three countries provided support to Israeli.
It came as Israel's defence minister vowed "Tehran will burn" after Iran launched hundreds of missiles toward them.
At least three people were killed and dozens more wounded in the first night of strikes on Tel Aviv and Jerusalem on Friday - while Israel continued to pound targets in Iran.
Both sides sit on the brink of war after Israel accused Iran of trying to develop a nuclear bomb - launching a massive wave of pre-emptive strikes on Friday.
Israel killed top military leaders, nuclear scientists and blasted secretive sites believed to be being used by Iran to develop nuclear weapons.
Defence minister Israel Katz said Iran"crossed red lines after it dared to attack the civilian population" and will now "pay a heavy price for it".
He added: "If Khamenei continues to fire missiles at the Israeli home front, Tehran will burn."
Reports emerged that Israel's version of the Pentagon - the HaKirya - had been hit, though these were not confirmed.
Tehran branded the retaliatory strikes as a "punishment" attack on Israel.
Both sides have warned more is yet to come, with Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowing to inflict "heavy blows".
He said his armed forces will bring the "vile regime [Israel] to ruin".
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Iran that "more is on the way" and warned "the regime does not know what will hit them".

Israel-Iran live: Trump threatens to retaliate ‘at levels never seen before' if US targeted by Tehran as airstrikes wreak havoc overnight
Donald Trump has threatened to respond 'at levels never seen before' if Iran attacks US bases, as Tehran and Israel trade heavy blows overnight. Posting on Truth Social, the US president said his forces had 'nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight" but warned: 'If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the US Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.' On Saturday, Iran warned that it would target US, UK or French bases in the region if they shot down missiles heading for Israel. Israel and Iran continued to trade airstrikes and missiles overnight, with at least seven dead in Israel and an unknown number of casualties in Iran. Israel targeted Iran's Defence Ministry headquarters and a fire erupted at Shahran oil depot near Iran's capital, after it was targeted in an Israeli attack, Iran said.

The official death toll remains unclear in both countries, but it has increased. In Israel, emergency services have confirmed the deaths of at least seven people after Iranian strikes. Local media is reporting the death toll to be higher, at 10. It is unclear where each confirmed death took place, but fatalities were reported in the northern town of Tamra, the city of Bat Yam, which is just south of Tel Aviv, and in western Galilee. Iran has not reported any fatalities from the overnight strikes yet. Iran has said 78 people were killed there on the first day of Israel's campaign on Friday, and scores more on the second, including 60 when a missile brought down a 14-storey apartment block in Tehran, where 29 of the dead were children. 15 June 2025 08:12 Pictured: Fire rages at oil depot near Tehran after Israeli strike A fire raged over night at Shahran oil depot, an oil refinery near Iran's, after it was targeted in an Israeli attack overnight.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard also claimed that Iranian missiles targeted fuel production facilities for Israeli fighter jets, something not acknowledged by Israel.
