Drones launched by Iran are expected to reach Israel in the coming hours.

The IDF said earlier that over 100 drones were launched from Iran toward Israel, and the Israeli Air Force was working to intercept them.

Such drones generally take up to seven hours to reach Israel from Iran.

Several drones were spotted over Iraq an hour ago, meaning they are likely to arrive at Israel within the next couple of hours, if they are not shot down earlier by the IAF.
