JERUSALEM, Israel – Jerusalemites (those who could sleep) awakened on a beautiful Sunday morning to silence, except for the sound of chirping birds.
It followed a night of uncertainty throughout the country, with the sound of explosions and warning sirens shattering the post-midnight calm, as Iran launched more than 300 drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles at Israel in Tehran’s first direct attack.
No Israeli fatalities were reported, although a 9-year-old Bedouin girl was said to be seriously wounded by a missile near the southern city of Arad, and the Nevatim military base, also in southern Israel, sustained slight damage.
Israel Defense Forces Spokesman Daniel Hagari said 99% of the drones were intercepted, with help from the U.S., the U.K. and Jordan. He explained that of 170 drones and 30 cruise missiles launched, none reached Israeli airspace.
