Israel vows Iran will ‘pay the price' for missile barrage
Iran unleashed a barrage of missile strikes on Israeli cities, after Israel struck military targets deep inside Iran, with both sides threatening further devastation.
Images showed gutted residential buildings in Tel Aviv and fires smouldering outside the coastal city of Haifa, after Israel's army warned people to take cover from incoming Iranian missiles.
In Jerusalem, an AFP journalist heard loud explosions, while footage showed Israeli air defences lighting up the night sky.
After decades of enmity and a prolonged shadow war fought through proxies and covert operations, Israel's surprise assault on Iran last week has touched off the most intense fighting yet and triggered fears of a lengthy conflict that could engulf the Middle East.
Israel says its attacks have hit military and nuclear facilities, and killed many top commanders and atomic scientists – but a senior US official said on Sunday that US President Donald Trump told Israel to back down from a plan to kill supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Mr Trump has urged the foes to 'make a deal', but told reporters on Sunday that 'sometimes they have to fight it out' first.
