Iran’s attack on Israel: how was the missile defense that blocked the maneuver
The Israeli army declared this Sunday that “99%” of the more than 300 projectiles fired towards Israel by Iran were intercepted.
Only “a small number” of ballistic missiles reached Israel, while the remaining ballistic missiles, all cruise missiles and all drones were intercepted before reaching Israeli territory, IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said.
Around 170 drones, more than 30 cruise missiles and more than 120 ballistic missiles were launched towards Israel by Iran, according to the spokesman. The vast majority were intercepted by the Israeli Air Force and its “partners,” the spokesman added.
The ballistic missiles that hit Israel landed on the Netavim air base in southern Israel, Hagari said, adding that they caused only minor structural damage. The base was still functioning and continuing operations after the attack, with aircraft still using the base, he added.
