The Israel Defense Forces said it had intercepted a “large number” of the 180 ballistic missiles fired by Iran into Israel this evening, reports UNN citing Times of Israel.
Israel's air defenses have been “effective,” the Israel Defense Forces says. The U.S. also participated in Israel's defense, both by detecting the Iranian threat and intercepting some of the missiles, according to the military.
The Israel Defense Forces said there were “isolated” strikes in central Israel and several more strikes in southern Israel.
There was no damage to the Israeli Air Force's “competence” as a result of the attack, and Israel Air Force aircraft, air defenses and air traffic control are operating normally, according to the military.
