Iran’s overnight attacks on Israel included a total of 70 ballistic missiles and dozens of drones, according to the IDF’s latest estimates.
The missiles were fired in three waves at 11 p.m., 2 a.m. and 2:55 a.m., coinciding with the dozens of drones.
One projectile struck a home in the town of Tamra, killing four civilians; another struck Bat Yam, killing at least six civilians and wounding nearly 200; and another struck Rehovot, wounding another 40 people.
The military says that so far, Iran’s attacks are below the “reference scenario,” or what the IDF had anticipated in a war with Iran. The IDF had estimated far larger numbers of casualties and more significant damage.
Iran is still believed to possess thousands of ballistic missiles.
