Overnight, the Israeli Air Force shot down some 30 drones launched at Israel, all apparently from Iran, the military says.

Many of the drones were intercepted beyond Israel’s borders. Several were shot down over the Golan Heights, according to the military.

The military releases footage of one of the interceptions by an IAF helicopter.
