"Seven... soldiers were lightly injured last night, as a result of an Iranian missile hit to central Israel," the spokesperson said. The area includes Tel Aviv, home to Israel's defence ministry and military headquarters.
The attack came after Israel launched airstrikes on Iran early Friday, targeting military and nuclear facilities including the Natanz uranium enrichment site, as well as residential buildings.
Iranian state media reported that the strikes killed at least 78 people, including 60 civilians among them 20 children, in residential areas of Tehran.
