Another direct hit... That show excellent approach by Iranian to first launch drones/CM then penetrated with BM... Seems Israeli AD is in shatters now... several direct hits being reported inside Israel.
US official to ABC: Iran fires another 70 ballistic missiles at Israel, following earlier barrage of 80 missiles. via
70?! What is it in percentage in Iranian stockpile? If true this is a bigger response than I thought
News are coming that the Israeli Air defense Force is running out on intercepting rockets because there aren't many being launched lately. It appears that Iran has executed their strategy quite well.
While US/Israeli intelligence picked up clues about timing of attack, the scale (400+ drones) and nature (drones + cruise missiles + ballistic missiles) of the attack clearly caught them by surprise. This shows upper echelons of IRGC/security establishment are not infiltrated by US/Israeli intelligence.
The newer Iranian ballistic missiles were understood to be maneuverable in the terminal phase, negating any chance of interception.
The map shows Dimona was also targeted. That's where Israel's nuclear reactor is.
Israeli sources also report that the Israeli Nevatim Airbase in has been struck by 7 Iranian Medium-Range Ballistic missiles ..
Israeli air defence exposed badly by Iran's older generation ballistic missiles.
