Israel and Allies Intercepted 99 Percent of Over 300 Iranian Drones and Missiles
(Ynet News) Elisha Ben Kimon - IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said Sunday that "99% of the threats" launched by Iran against Israel "were intercepted." "This is a very significant strategic achievement. None of the 170 drones launched by Iran entered Israeli territory. Dozens of them were intercepted by Air Force fighter jets and Israeli and foreign air defense systems. None of the 30 cruise missiles Iran launched entered Israeli territory. Some 25 of them were intercepted by Air Force fighter jets outside the country's borders." Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Sunday, "The IDF has impressively foiled the attack. Together with our American and other partners, we managed to limit damage to Israeli territory to a minimal degree, a most impressive achievement accomplished by the IDF with distinction. The whole world saw who Iran is tonight - a terrorist state that attacks Israel from a distance of 1,500 km. away and tries to activate all of its proxies."
