According to the authorities, around 20 people were injured in the Israeli city of Haifa in Iranian rocket attacks on the afternoon, three of them seriously, reports the Jerusalem Post.

According to Israeli information, at least 20 long-range rockets have been fired at Israel.

Earlier on Friday morning, five people were injured in Be'er Sheva in southern Israel in a rocket attack, according to the newspaper Haaretz. The city was also attacked on Thursday, when Iranian rockets hit the Soroka hospital.

A series of explosions were also heard in Tehran on Friday, according to an AFP reporter on the spot.

Israel has urged residents in northern Iran to evacuate ahead of impending Israeli attacks on the area. The Israeli military says it has attacked dozens of targets in the capital during the night until Friday - and the attacks are said to have been directed against the "heart of Tehran" and a facility linked to Iran's nuclear energy program.

European foreign ministers met Iran's counterpart Abbas Araghchi in Geneva, Switzerland on Friday to discuss the nuclear energy program.

US President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he will "within two weeks" make a decision on whether the US will attack Iran or not.
