The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said they had “controlled the situation” after Iran launched at least 100 UAVs.
The IDF said it had “the situation under control” after Iran launched at least 100 drones into Israel.
Israeli Air Force fighter jets have shot down drones outside Israel’s borders and so far, none have made it into the country.
Meanwhile, the Home Front Command has issued an update informing Israelis that they no longer need to be near bomb shelters; however, restrictions on gatherings remain in place.
While the IDF said it had control of the drone attack, it has not confirmed shooting down all of the aircraft.
Homeland Command will provide further updates if there are additional threats directed at Israel from Iran.
The IDF said the Home Front Command’s decision to sound the nationwide siren at 3 a.m. was based on the assessment that Iran would immediately respond to Israeli attacks, but that ultimately did not happen.
In its latest report , Russian news agency Sputnik said that Iran has launched more than 200 UAVs towards Israel and US, Israeli and British fighter jets were reported to be operating in the skies over Syria and Iraq to intercept the UAVs.
In addition, Jordan also opened its airspace to Israeli fighter jets.
