🇮🇱🇮🇷Nearly 200 rockets were launched by Iran and the attack no doubt marks a significant escalation in the Middle East conflict.
In response to the attack, The Prime Minister of Israel, Netanyahu, said: "Iran made a big mistake tonight - and it will pay for it. There is also a deliberate and murderous hand behind this attack - it comes from Tehran.
"We will stand by the rule we established: whoever attacks us - we will attack him."
He added that the attack had "failed", amid claims from Tehran that said some 80% of the missiles found their targets.
Iran has since responded to Netanyahu's statement by saying Israel would suffer the "vast destruction" of its infrastructure should it attack Iran, according to state media.
The military also warned that if Israel's allies directly intervene, they should expect their interests and bases in the region to face "strong attack".
