JERUSALEM (AFP)

Israel was under missile attack from Iran on Tuesday, the Israeli military said, the latest escalation after Israeli raids against Iran-backed militants in Lebanon.

"A short while ago, missiles were launched from Iran towards the State of Israel," the military said in a statement. Sirens sounded across Israel, with AFP journalists reporting hearing explosions over Jerusalem.

Israeli airspace was closed with all flights diverted, a spokesman for the airport authority said.

Iraq and Jordan, while lie between Iran and Israel, closed their airspace too.
