Israel says 24 killed in Iranian missile attacks since Friday
The Israeli military’s Home Front Command has updated the death toll from days of Iranian attacks, saying most of those killed were not in bomb shelters.
Iran has fired about 350 missiles at Israel so far, and each barrage consisted of about 30 to 60 projectiles, it said.
Iran, meantime, announced it launched some 100 missiles and pledged further retaliation for Israel’s sweeping attacks on its military and nuclear infrastructure, which have killed more than 220 people since Friday, including dozens of civilians.
Israeli army claims it destroyed 30% of Iran’s missile launchers
More than 50 jets carried out air raids and destroyed at least 120 surface-to-surface missile launchers, the military says, as fighting between the two arch foes entered a fourth day.
“This amounts to one-third of the surface-to-surface missile launchers possessed by the Iranian regime,” military spokesman Brigadier-General Effie Defrin said in a televised statement.
After days of attacks on Iranian air defences and missile systems, the Israeli army said its aircraft now control the skies from western Iran to Tehran.
“Now we can say that we have achieved full air supremacy in the Tehran airspace,” said Defrin.
