Iran launched a counter-offensive against Tel Aviv late on Friday, leading to several people injured and numerous buildings destroyed. Iran's leader Khamenei had stated that they would take revenge against Israel and leave them in “ruins”.

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said that Iran crossed "red lines" on Friday after Tehran launched a counter attack targeting civilian areas following Israel's massive offensive on the Islamic republic's military and nuclear bases.

Earlier in the day, Iran's ally Yemen had also launched air strikes against Israel. The US military, allied with Israel, as per a report from AFP, helped intercept drones targeting Israel amid the escalating tensions between both countries.

"Iran has crossed red lines by daring to fire missiles at civilian population centres in Israel," Katz said in a statement. 

He said, "We will continue to defend the citizens of Israel and ensure that the Ayatollah regime pays a very heavy price for its heinous actions."
