Israel continues high interception rate of Iranian threats

The Israeli Air Force and Navy have intercepted around 95% of threats that have approached Israeli airspace, the IDF announced Thursday.

The IAF and Israeli Navy intercepted hundreds of Iranian drones amid the war, which are included in the 95% figure.

Iran has launched at least 1,000 drones against Israel since Operation Rising Lion began last Friday.

Iran's drones include the Shahed 107, Shahed 129, Shahed 131, and Shahed 136.
