Israel's military says it was able to intercept the vast majority of more than 300 drones and missiles launched from Iran.

Video from Jerusalem shows light moving through the sky then exploding. Earlier, Iran's state-run television reported that the country's Revolutionary Guards launched multiple drones and missiles toward Israel and the occupied Golan Heights.

Iran says the attack was retaliation for one earlier this month on its embassy in Syria that killed a commander and other officers in its Revolutionary Guards. Israel is believed to be behind that attack.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi says the drone and missile operation has taught Israel a lesson, setting a new page in the history of Iran's authority. He warned that any new adventure against the interests of the Iranian nation would be met with a heavier and regretful response.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his country has been preparing for a direct attack by Iran, adding "we are ready for any scenario."

The Israeli military released video of what it says is an air force operation center. The military claims that by using the air defense system Arrow, it was able to intercept almost all missiles before they entered Israeli territory.

Israel Defense Forces Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said, "So far we have intercepted the vast majority of incoming missiles by Israeli systems."

Hagari says an Israeli military facility suffered some damage. The ambulance service says a girl around the age of 10 was critically injured, but the details of her condition are not clear.

US news website Axios quoted a senior White House official as saying President Joe Biden told Netanyahu the joint defensive efforts by Israel, the US and other countries in the region led to the failure of the Iranian attack. Biden also reportedly said: "You got a win. Take the win."

Biden reportedly told Netanyahu the US will not participate in any offensive operations against Iran and will not support such operations, and Netanyahu said he understood.

The Iran-backed Shia militant group Hezbollah says it fired dozens of rockets toward the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights early on Sunday.

The Lebanon-based group said on social media that the attack was launched at 12:35 a.m., local time, targeting air and missile defense systems.

The group said it carried out rocket attacks at dawn as well. Hezbollah did not say if the operation was coordinated with Iran's missile and drone attacks on Israel.

Israel has called for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council. The meeting will be held from 20:00 hours UTC on Sunday.
