Ammon News - Israel's military said it struck targets in central Iran on Monday, including internal security command centres and missile launch sites, in the first raid since the Islamic republic appointed a new supreme leader.

"The Israeli Air Force... completed an additional wave of strikes on infrastructure across Iran belonging to the Iranian regime," a military statement said.

The targets included "a rocket engine production facility and several long-range ballistic missiles launch sites" that threatened Israel, it said.

The internal security headquarters in the central city of Isfahan, a police headquarters and other facilities used by the Revolutionary Guards and paramilitary Basij force were also hit, according to the military.

Iran, for its part, launched its first missile attack at Israel after the appointment of the Islamic republic's new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, state broadcaster IRIB said.

"Iran fires first wave of missiles under Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei towards occupied territories," IRIB said on its Telegram channel.

It posted a picture of a projectile bearing the slogan "At Your Command, Sayyid Mojtaba," a Shiite Muslim religious reference.

In Israel, sirens warning of incoming missiles sounded across much of the country's north and centre, including the cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa, according to the military's Home Front Command.

Police said officers were called to at least two sites in central Israel, where according to local media interceptor debris fell.

Several explosions were heard on Monday in the Qatari capital Doha, AFP journalists said, as Gulf nations reported new attacks with Iran pressing its retaliatory strikes across the region.

Doha has been targeted by waves of Iranian drones and missiles since Iran launched a sprawling retaliation campaign across the Gulf in the wake of US and Israeli attacks against the Islamic republic.

Qatar's defence ministry said on Monday that its forces had intercepted a missile attack.

Elsewhere in the Gulf, Saudi Arabia's defence ministry said the kingdom intercepted and destroyed two drones heading towards the Shaybah oil field in the southeast of the country.

Kuwait's defence ministry said the country's air defences were working to intercept a missile and drone attack on Monday.

As for Lebanon, Israel's military said it struck the Beirut area early Monday, targeting Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.

Israeli forces "struck infrastructure belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organisation in Beirut", the military said in a brief statement.

An AFP correspondent heard a loud explosion in the Lebanese capital's southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold.

Bahrain's health ministry has said that an Iranian drone attack on the island of Sitra overnight wounded 32 civilians.

All of the wounded were Bahraini citizens and there were four "serious cases" including children, the ministry said in a statement carried by the Gulf nation's state news agency.
