IDF confirms launch of Iran attack on Israel, says IAF tracking drones that’ll take several hours to reach Israel

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari in a press statement confirms that dozens of drones launched from Iran are heading toward Israel.

He says the Israeli Air Force is tracking the drones, while noting that they will take several hours to reach the country.

Hagari says there will be GPS disruptions as the military works to intercept the drones.

If there are any additional attacks, that require a separate warning, Hagari says the IDF will update the public.

Sirens will only sound if the drones enter Israeli airspace, at the relevant locations, Hagari says. He says the IDF will work to intercept the targets as early as possible. Israel’s air defenses, while not hermetic, are strong, he stresses.

Channel 12 says the US was the first to identify the launch and immediately notified Israel.
