With the help of allies, Israel was able to intercept nearly all of the drones and missiles fired by Iran and its proxies at the Jewish State on Saturday night and into Sunday morning.

Israel Defense Forces spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said they and allies were able to intercept “99% of the threats launched toward Israeli territory,” which he described as “a very significant strategic achievement.”
