Israeli Defense Forces Intercept Hostile Drones and Missiles Launched by Iran
In a significant escalation, Iran has launched over 200 drones and ballistic missiles towards Israel. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have been on high alert and successfully intercepted the majority of the launches.
According to the IDF statement, dozens of surface-to-surface missile launches were identified approaching Israeli territory. The IDF’s Aerial Defense Array, including the Arrow Aerial Defense System, along with strategic allies, intercepted the launches before they crossed into Israeli territory. However, a small number of hits were identified, causing minor damage to infrastructure at an IDF base in southern Israel.

The IDF also reported intercepting many hostile aircraft and cruise missiles approaching Israeli territory from Iran. Dozens of Israeli Air Force (IAF) fighter jets are currently engaged in intercepting all aerial threats.
The situation has caused mass panic in the streets of Israel, with reports of several blasts heard in Jerusalem. Unconfirmed reports suggest more than 40 Israelis have been killed and wounded so far.
The IDF remains deployed on all fronts, prepared, and continuing to defend Israeli territory.
