IDF: 99% of the 300 or so projectiles fired by Iran at Israel overnight were intercepted
Times of Israel ^ | 4/14/24 | Emanuel Fabian

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says 99% of the 300 or so projectiles fired by Iran at Israel overnight were intercepted by air defenses.

He says Iran launched 170 drones at Israel, and not one entered Israeli airspace. They were all downed outside of the country’s borders by Israel and its allies.

Another 30 cruise missiles were launched, and not a single one entered Israeli airspace, he says. According to Hagari, 25 of them were downed by the Israeli Air Force.

In addition, Hagari says Iran fired 120 ballistic missiles at Israel. Some of the missiles managed to bypass Israel’s defenses, hitting the Nevatim Airbase in southern Israel.

Hagari says slight damage was caused to infrastructure at Nevatim, but the airbase is running as usual.

Additionally, he says, a handful of drones and missiles were launched from Iraq and Yemen amid the attack, although none entered Israeli airspace.

The IDF releases images showing fighter jets after their return from downing the Iranian drones and cruise missiles.

I seem to recall the Democrats denigrating Reagan’s strategic defense plan as “Star Wars” saying an anti missile system was impossible and killed a plan to defend the US from missile attack

The Arab countries are no friend to Iran. They can use the excuse that Iran had weapons in their airspace’s without permission and were neutralized without regard to where they were programmed to land. The weapons were a threat to their sovereignty and were destroyed.

In contrast to the bumbling USA not being able to intercept chicom intelligence-gathering balloons...

Israel was bumbling on October 7th also but not this time.

So the Iron Dome works. Would SDI do the same for us?

Remember, even John Tower, once long ago a stalwart conservative, came out against SDI. It was EMK who called it “Star Wars.”

Peacocks come from eggs, but peacocks do not LAY eggs!

So where do peacock eggs come from?
