IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari says that 99% of the 300 or so projectiles fired by Iran at Israel overnight were intercepted by air defense systems.
This is a very important strategic achievement. The Iranian threat faced the IDF's air and technological superiority, combined with a strong combat coalition that together intercepted the vast majority of threats
According to him, Iran launched 170 drones at Israel, and none of them entered Israeli airspace. All of them were shot down outside the country by Israel and its allies.
According to him, another 30 cruise missiles were launched, and none of them entered Israeli airspace. According to Haghari, 25 of them were shot down by the Israeli Air Force.
In addition, Hagari says Iran has fired 120 ballistic missiles at Israel. Many of them were shot down by the Arrow long-range air defense system, although some of the missiles managed to bypass Israeli defenses, hitting the Nevatim air base in southern Israel.
The infrastructure in Nevatim was slightly damaged, but the air base is operating normally.
Iran thought it could paralyze the base and thus damage our air capabilities, but it failed. Air Force aircraft continue to take off and land from the base, as well as depart for offensive and defensive missions, including the Adir (F-35) aircraft, which are now returning from a mission to defend the base, and you will soon see them land
