Israel and western allies intercept 99% of projectiles, with only a handful landing in Israel

A relative points to a hole in the roof of a building caused by an Iran ian projectile that injured a seven-year-old Bedouin girl in her village, in the southern Negev desert early Sunday morning. Photograph: Ahmad Gharabli/Getty Images110 ballistic missiles, 36 cruise missiles and 185 explosive drones were fired from Iran , which has no common border with Israel , and by pro- Iran ian militias based in Iraq, Syria and Yemen.

No one was killed and only minor damage was caused. Many of the incoming projectiles were successfully intercepted by Israel’s multi-layered missile defence systems, many hundreds of kilometers from Israel’s border. Others were hit by Israeli aircraft.US Republican states step up legal threats to Joe Biden’s climate agendain the Syrian capital Damascus almost two weeks ago that killed seven Revolutionary Guard officers, including two senior commanders.

War cabinet member Benny Gantz said Israel will “exact a price” from Iran in response to its attack on the country when the time is right. But, striking a conciliatory note, he stressed that Iran is a global problem. “Iran is a regional challenge and it is also a danger to Israel and yesterday the world resoundingly stood by Israel in the face of danger,” he said. “It is a strategic achievement that we must leverage for the sake of Israel’s security.
