Iran has fired some 200 ballistic missiles at Israel in several barrages since last night, according to the IDF.
Most of the missiles were intercepted by air defenses. The military says that around 25%, less than 50, were not intercepted “according to protocol,” allowing them to strike open areas without causing damage to any critical infrastructure.
A “small number” of missiles made it through air defenses, the IDF says, and caused casualties and damage, including in residential areas in Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan and Rishon Lezion in central Israel.
Three Israelis were killed and some 70 were wounded in the missile impacts.
The military says that all of its bases, including air bases, are operating as usual with no harm to their functionality.
Several drones fired at Israel overnight were also shot down by the Israeli Air Force and Navy. This comes after 100 drones fired by Iran on Friday were also intercepted.
