All the drones and cruise missiles were downed outside of the country’s airspace by the Israeli Air Force and its allies, including the United States, United Kingdom, Jordan, France and others.
Four ballistic missiles hit an airbase in southern Israel, causing minor damage to infrastructure, the IDF has said.
