IDF says rate of Iran’s missile attacks continues to decline

The rate of Iran’s ballistic missile attacks has continued to decline, with just a few projectiles fired at Israel in the past day, according to the military.

On the first day of the war, Iran launched some 90 missiles at Israel, before firing around 60 the following day. The rate then declined to around 20 missiles per day for around a week, before slowing further to several a day in recent days.

The IDF attributes the downward trend to strikes targeting Iran’s ballistic missile launchers and squads of Iranian soldiers preparing to carry out the missile attacks.

The military assesses that attacks from Iran will continue as long as the war is active, and the rate of missile fire could even increase.

The Home Front Command is meanwhile mulling easing restrictions in some parts of the country that are under less of a threat of Iran’s ballistic missiles or Hezbollah’s rocket attacks from northern Israel, potentially allowing schools to reopen in some areas.

The decision is not final, and will likely be announced on Saturday night when the current restrictions are set to expire.
