Israel and Iran have launched strikes against each other for a third day, with both countries vowing to continue responding to attacks.

On Sunday evening, there were explosions in the sky above Tel Aviv and Jerusalem as Israel's Iron Dome shot down missiles fired from Iran.

In overnight strikes on Saturday, ten people, including two children, were killed and more than 100 injured in Israel, authorities said.

Israel said its strikes had hit dozens of targets in Tehran. Iranian media, quoting the health ministry, said 128 Iranians had been killed and around 900 injured as of midday on Saturday.

Israel initially launched an attack on Iranian nuclear infrastructure and other targets on Friday.

BBC journalists are unable to report from inside Iran due to restrictions by Iran's government, making it difficult to assess the damage caused by Israel's offensive.

In Israel, sirens blared on Sunday evening, causing people to take shelter as the Iron Dome intercepted incoming missiles.
