Since midnight, seven waves of Iranian missiles have been launched towards Israel, according to the Israeli army.
As the day progressed, rescue teams said they had treated four casualties from glass shrapnel in the central city of Bnei Brak.
In a residential neighbourhood of Ramat Gan, AFP images showed the top floor of a house completely blown out, exposing its gutted interior, with a crushed bookcase and an exercise bike amid the debris.
Nearby, another home was largely destroyed, stripped of its outer walls, according to AFP photographs.
"All this is from shrapnel," Joy Frankel, a social worker, told AFP near one of the impacted sites.
According to several local media outlets, including The Times of Israel, a cluster munition missile fired from Iran on Saturday morning landed near the Kirya military base in Tel Aviv, not far from the defence ministry.
The army said its air defences were working to down missiles fired from Iran, each time it announced incoming projectiles.
