Another three people were injured in the attacks.
Meanwhile, the Times of Israel reports that Iranian missiles have injured five people in the central Israeli city of Kafr Qasim and one person in the occupied West Bank.
The latest bombardment from Tehran comes after Donald Trump claimed the country's islamic rulers wanted "to make a deal so badly" but that "they’re afraid to say it, because they figure they’ll be killed by their own people".
Speaking at a Republican fundraiser in Washington, Trump insisted Iran is "negotiating" with the US in relation to the conflict in the Middle East.
The President has stepped up efforts to strike a peace agreement with Tehran over the last few days, despite the White House threatening to "unleash hell" if Iran refused to accept defeat.
Iran said it rejected the US plans to halt the war after Trump proposed a 15-point peace document on Tuesday, while launching more attacks on Israel and Gulf Arab countries.
A senior Iranian official said the initial response to the US proposal was not "positive", but added that the regime was still reviewing the proposal.
The strikes were also followed by reports that claim Iran is to be supported by Russia, with Moscow planning on sending drones, medicine supplies, and food to help its military efforts against the US and Israel.
