Israel says it and its allies have intercepted the vast majority of more than 300 drones and missiles launched by Iran into Israeli territory.
It says there were a small number of hits on its territory, including at an Israeli Defence Frces (IDF) base in southern Israel, while one child has been injured, tthe BBC reports.
Israel’s minister of defence, Yoav Gallant, has said the confrontation with Iran is “not over yet.”
Iran said the attack “achieved all its objectives” and added it would use greater force if Israel responded in kind.
Iran’s unprecedented, retaliatory attack marks the first time it has targeted Israel directly from its own soil.
Tehran’s attack is a retaliation for an Israeli strike that killed an Iranian military commander in Damascus earlier this month.
Biden says he told Netanyahu that Israel has demonstrated “remarkable capacity” in defending itself, adding that the US helped “take down nearly all of the incoming drones and missiles”.
