Iran launched a large missile and drone barrage aimed at Israeli territory and U.S. military installations across the Middle East on Saturday afternoon.
The assault reportedly began minutes after Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 86, was confirmed dead following strikes on his central Tehran compound.
Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst was forced to evacuate a Tel Aviv high-rise after his security team declared the location unsafe amid the attack.
While he left the building, Israeli Iron Dome batteries were visible firing and at least one sizable explosion was heard.
The exact number of missiles launched and the interception rate remain unknown at the time of this report.
Multiple Shahed-class kamikaze drones were also reported among the weapons Iran launched.

Impacts in Israel have been confirmed and rescue efforts were underway in Tel Aviv as of 4 p.m. Eastern Time.
Iranian forces also appear to have conducted a second barrage targeting U.S. military sites in the region.
Missile defense batteries were observed firing from Al Udeid Air Base in Doha during the strikes.
Earlier attacks caused damage to installations and civilian areas from downed missiles, with at least one fatality reported from falling debris in Dubai.
Additional injuries were confirmed in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan following the initial strikes.
Anti-missile systems at U.S. bases in Bahrain, which hosts the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet, were seen engaging threats.

Earlier rounds did not produce any confirmed U.S. casualties and it remains unconfirmed whether facilities sustained impacts in the second barrage.
At least one missile or drone impact was reported at Dubai International Airport, though casualty details are not yet available.
