Iran launched at least 100 rockets, with some sources even indicating 250, while The Jerusalem Post mentions 400.

AFP agency journalists reported that explosions and sounds of intercepted rockets were also heard over Jerusalem.

Iran confirmed the attack on Israel. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard reported on Tuesday evening that Iran fired dozens of rockets towards Israel in retaliation for the death of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, and Iranian General Abbas Nilforushan. They threatened further attacks if Israel responds militarily.
