Iran attacks Israel: Tel Aviv says ‘majority’ of drones, missiles were intercepted

Iran has launched hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel in its first direct attack on Israeli territory, in a retaliatory strike that wounded a seven-year-old girl and caused minor damage at an Israeli military facility.
The attack late on Saturday night set off air raid sirens in cities across Israel, including in Tel Aviv and West Jerusalem, and explosions were heard as Israeli air defences intercepted the projectiles.
The Israeli military said the Iranian salvo consisted of more than 300 “killer drones, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles”, but that 99 percent were intercepted, with help from forces from the United States and the United Kingdom.
The launches came from Iran, as well as from Iraq and Yemen, it said.

Al Jazeera’s Heidi Zhou-Castro reports.

Iran has launched a wide-scale aerial assault against Israel in an unprecedented revenge mission, threatening to push the Middle East to the brink of a regional war.

Israel reports the Islamic regime in Tehran has launched more than 200 projectiles, including attack drones and ballistic missiles. Rocket sirens and booms could be heard across the entire country.

American officials say the US military has shot down Iranian drones headed for the Jewish state. Britain’s Defense Ministry says its jets will “intercept any airborne attacks within range of our existing missions, as required.”
