Iran announced it had launched some 100 missiles and vowed further retaliation for sweeping attacks on its military and nuclear infrastructure.

A volley of missiles launched by Iran killed eight people and injured nearly 100 in Israel on Monday as the conflict between the two countries entered its fourth day.

Hundreds of civilians, mostly in Iran, have been killed by dueling airstrikes despite international pleas for de-escalation.

Israel and Iran have traded more missile attacks despite international calls for a halt to the fighting, with neither country showing signs of backing down as the conflict between the regional foes raged for a third day.

The Iran-Israel conflict has escalated with both countries launching missile strikes on each other's territories. Israel has targeted Iranian military sites, while Iran has hit Israeli cities including Tel Aviv and Haifa.

Israel warns "Tehran will burn" if Iran continues firing missiles, while state media say 60 people have been killed in a strike on Iran's capital.
