Numerous other weapons production sites across the country were also targeted.
Shortly after, the military also said that the Israel Air Force and Israel Navy had intercepted over 100 drones fired by Iran since the beginning of Operation Rising Lion.
Military updates given after latest barrage of Iranian ballistic missiles
The military issued these updates shortly after at least 15 people were wounded throughout Israel from another barrage of Iranian ballistic missiles on Sunday night.The same day, a senior Israeli cabinet minister told The Jerusalem Post that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, personally ordered missile strikes aimed at concentrations of Israeli civilians.
Hours earlier, it was reported that US President Donald Trump vetoed an Israeli plan to assassinate Khamenei. However, the US president told ABC News that "it's possible we could get involved" in the military escalation between Israel and Iran.
