Israel-Iran: Sirens ring through Jerusalem as missiles shot down from sky

Sirens were activated in Jerusalem at around 01:45 local time (23:45 BST).

Loud explosions were heard with the air defence systems shooting down missiles over the city, and multiple interceptions lit up the night sky.

Iran has launched dozens of drones and missiles at Israel in a retaliatory attack, the Israeli military has said.

Clarification 16th April: This article originally referred to Israeli air defence systems shooting down objects over Jerusalem and has been amended to refer to missiles because only ballistic missiles reached Israeli airspace.
