IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari in a press conference puts the number of Iranian missiles and drones fired at Israel in the overnight attack at approximately 350.
He says the projectiles had a combined 60 tons of explosives, which “could cause tremendous damage.”
“We are still in the midst of a significant operational day, after thwarting the Iranian attack. In the last few hours, we held assessments and approved plans for defense and attack,” Hagari says.
He says Home Front Command guidelines will remain in effect, but wherever the army can ease the restrictions, it will do so.
“Iran’s plan failed,” Hagari says. “Out of hundreds of launches, only a few missiles entered Israeli territory and caused only minor damage to the infrastructure at the [Nevatim airforce] base.”
