Iran attack 'thwarted' but 'event is not over,' Israel says
Israeli military officials on Sunday said the Iranian attack had been "thwarted" by Israel and its allies, but warned that the threat of further strikes continued.
Most of the more than 300 drones, missiles and other threats Iran launched were intercepted by Israeli and allied defenses before entering Israel, the Israel Defense Forces said.
"99% of the threats launched towards Israeli territory were intercepted -- a very significant strategic achievement," IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari said.
The military defense was coordinated with a group of international allies, including the United States, United Kingdom and France, Hagari said.
"This partnership has always been robust, but last night it was exceptionally evident," he said.
The attack included at least 170 uncrewed drones, none of which made it into Israeli territory, he said.
About 25 of the 30 cruise missiles launched were intercepted by Israeli fighter jets before entering Israel, Hagari said.
And more than 120 ballistic missiles were launched, with "only a few" striking targets within Israel, he said. Those that made it through struck Nevatim Air Force Base, causing "minor damage to infrastructure," he said. The base remained open, he added.
"However, it is important to say -- the event is not over," Hagari said. "We remain prepared and ready for further developments and threats."
