The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday night that it had intercepted 99% of the drones and missiles fired at Israel by the Islamic Republic of Iran.

IDF Spokesperson RAdm. Daniel Hagari cautioned that the attack was not over as U.S. officials warned that Iran had launched an additional 70 missiles after the initial wave was largely unsuccessful.

Hagari said that Iran launched more than 200 drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles from inside its own territory — the first time Iran has ever launched a direct attack against the Jewish state.

He said that only minor damage was inflicted on an Israeli military base and that only one person, a little girl, had been hurt.
