Blasts heard as Iranian missiles struck occupied Jerusalem

Loud explosions were heard in the occupied Jerusalem on Monday, after the Israeli military warned a fresh barrage of missiles had been launched from Iran.

Around 10 minutes after announcing the missiles had been identified, the military said "additional missiles were launched" towards Israel and urged people to take cover.

The Magen David Adom rescue service reported no immediate casualties.

AFP journalists heard several blasts in Jerusalem, similar to those heard during past interceptions, after Israel's army warned a fresh barrage of missiles had been launched from Iran. 

People gather in a underground shelter in Tel Aviv on Monday.

Meanwhile, Iran said on Monday the attacks launched on the Islamic republic during talks about its nuclear programme were a "betrayal of diplomacy".

"We and future generations will not forget that the Iranians were in the middle of a diplomatic process with a country that is now at war with us," said foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei.

"Two days before the start of the negotiations, they attacked us militarily. It is a betrayal of diplomacy and the principle of dialogue," he added.
