Israel’s military has reported more than 400 Iranian ballistic missiles since the start of the war, claiming 92 percent of its defense systems were successful.
Iran has fired more than 400 ballistic missiles at Israel since the start of the Middle East war, Israel’s military said on Sunday. According to her, approximately 92 percent of these missiles were intercepted, TASR writes, according to an AFP report.
- Iran has fired more than 400 missiles at Israel.
- Israel intercepted approximately 92 percent of these rockets.
- An Iranian missile hit near the Dimona nuclear facility.
- Dozens of people were injured in the Iranian attacks.
- Iran is attacking Israel and American interests in the region.
“We have achieved an excellent capture success rate. We have about a 92 percent success rate,” Israeli army spokesman Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani told reporters. Shoshani reported these numbers after Iran hit the southern Israeli cities of Arad and Dimona on Saturday. Approximately 175 people required medical treatment following these attacks.
There is an official nuclear research center near the town of Dimona, which is extremely well protected. It is widely assumed that they manufacture nuclear weapons there, but Israel has never acknowledged its ownership. An Iranian missile landed just five kilometers from the city’s nuclear facility on Saturday, reports AFP.
Residents are alerted to sirens
In the city of Arad, extensive damage was reported to several buildings after the Iranian strikes. The Jewish state’s military is investigating the failure to intercept Saturday’s fire. The Shoshans say the missiles Iran fired on Saturday “are no different from ballistic missiles.” According to him, there were only four direct hits during the war.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted Saturday was a “very difficult evening” and urged residents to take refuge in shelters if sirens sounded. The Red Star of David Rescue Service (Magen David Adom) announced on Sunday that 15 people in Tel Aviv were injured in an Iranian cluster munition attack. Iran’s Tasnim news agency confirmed the attack and added that Iran fired rockets at Tel Aviv as well as other cities in Israel.
Israel and the United States attacked Iran on February 28, killing more than 1,500 people according to Iranian state television. In retaliation for these attacks, Iran strikes Israel and the countries in the Persian Gulf. Tehran targeted American interests in the region, but the attacks also hit civilian infrastructure.
