Air raid sirens could be heard across the Israeli city of Tel Aviv in the early hours of Tuesday morning, as Iranian media reported that military forces had launched missiles at Israel.

Fox News reporter Trey Yingst was standing on a balcony as short-range missiles behind him appeared to come closer before being intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome defense system. The footage of the incident preceded a night in which Israel and Iran traded fire, with explosions heard in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Tehran.
