Israeli military says most Iranian missiles intercepted despite Arad, Dimona strikes

Описание: In a press briefing in Tel Aviv on Saturday, Israeli military spokesperson Brigadier General Effie Defrin said Iranian missiles struck Arad and Dimona, with some evading air defences. He said more than 90 percent of incoming missiles were intercepted, calling it an “unprecedented success”, but admitted “our defences are not absolute”. Authorities stressed that following safety instructions and using shelters saved lives. The military confirmed it is investigating defence failures and improving its systems. Israel says it continues to strike thousands of targets in Iran and has approved ground operations in Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah positions and infrastructure north of the Litani River. Officials said the war is weakening Iran and its regional proxies, while also confirming the death of an Israeli soldier on the northern front, with an investigation under way.
