Amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, the Israeli army said on Friday that sirens had sounded across the country after the missiles were fired from Iran. According to news agency AFP quoting the army, "A short while ago, sirens sounded in several areas across Israel following the identification of missiles launched from Iran toward the State of Israel”.

According to the state TV, Iran fired a fresh salvo of missiles at Israel on the eighth day of the war between the two foes. News agency AFP reported that a news anchor described the "images in the sky over the occupied territories (Israel) of Iranian missiles arriving", as the channel broadcast the footage with military music playing in the background. 

However, the broadcast did not immediately clarify the number or types of missiles fired, nor did it specify the intended targets.

According to Times Of Israel, numerous loud explosions were heard in the Beersheba area in the south and Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The report also mentioned that two people were wounded including a teenager in serious condition after they were hit by shrapnel in Haifa. The Israel Police, according to news agency Reuters, confirmed that there were impact sites. However, no further details was further provided.

Meanwhile, the European foreign ministers are meeting with the Iranian officials in Geneva to press them to de-escalate and to offer a rollback of the nuclear activities. According to The Wall Street Journal, Iran’s foreign minister decided what he called Israel’s  "merciless act of aggression" against his country.

The meeting in Geneva comes amid US President Donald Trump saying that he will decide on whether to strike Iran "within two weeks”.  According to the State Department, Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Thursday with his U.K. counterpart to discuss the conflict, agreeing that "Iran can never develop or acquire a nuclear weapon”.
