At least seven people were killed and more than 100 injured when an Iranian ballistic missile hit Bat Yam, just south of Tel Aviv, overnight on Sunday, domestic media reported. Other reports put the death toll at six people. Israel's police said residential buildings took a "direct hit that caused extensive damage."

NBC News' Matt Bradley reports from Israel where sirens rang out across Tel Aviv after missiles were reportedly launched from Iran. The order for residents to take cover was lifted about 15 minutes later.
