The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) revealed in a statement on Saturday that since Iran started its retaliatory attacks, it had launched 200 ballistic missiles toward Israel. According to the Israeli army, the objects were sent flying in several barrages, with most of them shot down by air defense systems. It was further detailed that around 25% of the missiles weren’t intercepted “according to protocol” and were permitted to crash into open areas, without damaging infrastructure.
IDF did mention, however, that a “small number” of these missiles passed through the air defenses, with three Israelis being killed, while some 70 were wounded.

Israel’s military headquarters were struck after Iran’s Islamic Republic unleashed a barrage of missiles on central Tel Aviv late Friday night, causing “significant damage” to the Jewish state’s equivalent of the Pentagon. Alarming footage shared on social media — and verified by The New York Times — showed a strike slamming into an area that houses several military sites, including the Israel Defense Forces’ main command center. The dramatic clips captured interceptor missiles firing into the sky moments before a blinding flash, a thunderous boom, and the explosion of an incoming warhead.
