It became known about nine Iranian missiles that overcame Israeli air defense

At least nine Iranian missiles penetrated Israeli air defenses and damaged two air bases. ABC News reported this with reference to a senior American official.

Five missiles fired by Iran hit the Nevatim airbase, the publication’s interlocutor claims. They damaged a C-130 transport plane, an unused runway and empty warehouses.



Four more ballistic missiles flew to an air base in the Negev desert. However, there were no reports of significant damage. At the same time, Israeli media claim that 99% of Iranian missiles and drones were allegedly intercepted.

It is noted that we can talk about Fattah-1 medium-range ballistic missiles, which are equipped with detachable warheads with individual aerodynamic rudders and pre-acceleration liquid rocket engines.

Meanwhile, the Israeli army regards "a wide range of options" for Iran's response to its missile attack. The country's authorities will choose one of them on April 15 or in the coming days. Israel's response could be "strike or no strike."

It is known that shortly after the Israeli war cabinet learned that Tehran had launched an attack, ministers Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot proposed an immediate counterattack. Netanyahu and other members of the military cabinet did not support the idea.

The Israeli prime minister also wanted to wait for a telephone conversation with US President Joe Biden. After a call from the White House, plans for a counterattack were shelved.
