(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - Iran's drones had a flight time of multiple hours to reach Israel, and the cruise missiles would have taken more than an hour to reach their target. The ballistic missiles, however, have a much shorter flight time - around 10 minutes - and are more challenging to intercept. The IDF said the long-range Arrow air defense system knocked down the "vast majority" of the ballistic missiles headed toward Israel. Unlike the drones and cruise missiles, the ballistic missiles were shot down over Israel, leading the IDF to activate warning sirens over fears of falling shrapnel. The explosions heard across the country were a result of the Arrow interceptions, despite them being shot down high in the sky and, in some cases, in space. A few ballistic missiles managed to bypass the Israeli defenses and strike the Nevatim airbase. "Iran thought it would be able to paralyze the base and thus damage our air capabilities, but it failed," said IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari. 2024-04-16 00:00:00Full Article
