Using hundreds of drones and missiles, the Israeli army stated on Sunday that Iran’s attack had been “foiled,” with 99 percent of them intercepted over night.
“The Iranian attack was foiled,” Israeli army spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said in a televised statement.
None of the drones and cruise missiles that were launched towards Israel had entered its territory, Hagari said, and “only a few” ballistic missiles reached Israel.
One of them “lightly hit the Nevatim base”, he added, 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.
