Special Edition: Iran Attacks Israel by Park MacDougald
The Big Story On Saturday evening, Iran targeted Israel with hundreds of suicide drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles. The vast majority of these projectiles, according to IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari, were intercepted outside of Israel’s borders by Israeli jets and missile defense systems. “A few impacts” were identified inside Israel, including at a military base in the south, causing “slight damage to infrastructure.” One injury has been reported so far—a young Bedouin girl who was hurt in the Negev. The most recent update from Israel’s Home Front Command, sent just before 4 a.m. in Israel, said that Israelis no longer need to remain near bomb shelters, which suggests that the current wave of attacks may be over.
