The IDF says that since last night, some 150 rockets, cruise missiles, and drones were launched at Israel.
The rocket attacks came from Lebanon and were aimed at Israel’s north, while the drones and cruise missiles were launched from Iraq.
The military says the Israeli Air Force’s air defense array had a high interception rate amid the attacks, with only a handful of cases of direct impacts and falling shrapnel causing injuries and damage.
“The air force is ready in defense and attack,” the IDF adds.
