The Israeli army said Sunday that Iran’s attack using hundreds of drones and missiles had been “foiled”, with 99 per cent of them intercepted overnight.
According to the AFP, Israeli army spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said none of the drones and cruise missiles that were launched towards Israel had entered its territory, and “only a few” ballistic missiles reached Israel.
He added that one of them lightly hit the Nevatim base noting that the military compound was still functioning.
Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said in a statement: “Together with the United States and additional partners, we managed to defend the territory of the State of Israel.”
“The campaign is not over yet -– we must remain alert”, Gallant added.
