Israel says it is conducting "precise strikes on military targets" in Iran.
The Israel Defense Forces say the strikes are in response to "months of continuous attacks from the regime of Iran".
Several loud explosions were reported by Iranian state media a little earlier.
The White House says it understands that Israel is conducting the strikes in Iran as an "exercise of self-defence" in response to Iran's ballistic missile attack on October 1.
The US says it had no involvement in the strikes.
