The Israeli military claims to have ‘foiled’ Iran’s unprecedented drone and missile attack on the Jewish state. The Israeli military said it intercepted the “vast majority” of some 300 drones and missiles fired by Iran, most before they entered Israeli airspace.Analysts said Iran’s coordinated multi-phase attack was an attempt to overwhelm and confuse Israeli air defences. An incoming attack by Iranian drones and ballistic missiles poses the latest challenge to Israel’s famed air defence system. The system has been working overtime to cope with attacks throughout the ongoing six-month-long war against Hamas. However, early signs suggest Israel’s vaunted air defences passed their biggest test yet, repelling an unprecedented barrage from Iran.
