Over 400 Rockets Launched from Iran Towards Israel – 92% Intercepted

Iran has launched over 400 ballistic missiles towards Israel since the start of the Israeli-American war against the country, with an interception rate of 92%, according to an Israeli army spokesperson. Two rockets fell in the cities of Dimona and Arad, causing injuries and significant property damage. Dimona hosts a nuclear research center. Prime Minister Netanyahu promised to target Iranian leaders and infrastructure, calling on the population to take shelter. Iranian television described the strikes in Dimona as a response to a strike against the Iranian nuclear facility in Natanz. The failure to intercept the two rockets is attributed to unusual conditions, according to Israeli military analysts.
