The Israeli military announced today, Sunday, that it intercepted “suspicious air targets” coming from Iraq before they could enter Israeli airspace. In a statement, the military confirmed that it intercepted “two suspicious aerial targets from Iraq without any injuries,” emphasizing that they “did not penetrate Israeli airspace.”
In related news, the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation reported that “air defenses intercepted two cruise missiles last night from Iraq aimed towards the southern Golan.”
The “Times of Israel” newspaper stated today that, according to the latest estimates from the Israeli military, “Hezbollah managed to launch only 24 rockets at northern Israel during the night, all of which were intercepted by air defenses.”
The newspaper also reported that large pieces of shrapnel fell in the Yizreel Valley following the interception operations, causing damage to a farm and minor injuries to a man in another area.
The first wave of rockets launched by Hezbollah was around 1 AM, including seven rockets. The second wave, before 5 AM, included twelve rockets, and the third wave after 5 AM consisted of five rockets, according to the Israeli military.
Meanwhile, Israeli emergency services reported that they treated three individuals with minor injuries resulting from rocket falls in the northern regions. Additionally, several other individuals received treatment for acute anxiety or injuries sustained while running to shelters.
The Israeli military also noted that its large waves of air strikes on Lebanon, from Saturday afternoon through the night, “likely thwarted the majority of the planned launches by Hezbollah.”
The Israeli military also announced that it had targeted approximately 290 sites in the past day, including thousands of launch platforms and Hezbollah infrastructure in various parts of southern Lebanon.
