Jerusalem, June 8 : An Iranian missile, or debris from an interception, struck a settlement in the occupied West Bank on Monday, damaging three homes, Israel's Channel 12 News reported.

Video footage shared on social media showed a large plume of smoke rising from the area. There were no immediate reports of casualties, according to Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service.

The attack triggered air-raid sirens in the Jerusalem area and parts of the West Bank, while explosions were heard as air defence systems attempted to intercept the incoming missiles, reports Xinhua news agency.

Later, a second wave of missiles was launched from Iran, prompting the military to instruct residents in central Israel to seek shelter.

The escalation came amid US-Iran talks and followed Israeli airstrikes in Beirut, Lebanon, on Sunday that killed at least two people. Iran responded with a barrage of missiles, and Israel retaliated early Monday with strikes targeting sites in western and central Iran.

Meanwhile, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said early Monday that Israel attacked targets inside Iranian territory.

The attacks were carried out with air-launched ballistic missiles, the IRGC was quoted by the official news agency IRNA as saying.

The IRGC made the remarks after Iranian state media reported explosions in multiple cities across the country, including Tehran, Tabriz, Isfahan and Karaj, reports Xinhua news agency, quoting IRNA.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Telegram that the Israeli Air Force struck military targets in western and central Iran.

The Karun petrochemical plant in Mahshahr in southwestern Iran was hit and partly damaged by an Israeli projectile, Iran's semi-official Fars news agency reported Monday, citing a provincial official. The Israeli military later confirmed it on X.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military said it intercepted a missile from Yemen Monday morning.

The IDF said in a statement that it identified and intercepted the missile launched from Yemen towards Israeli territory.

Media reports said the missile attack triggered sirens in central Israel, including the city of Tel Aviv.
