At 7:15 am IDF Spokesperson R.-Adm. Daniel Hagari said that 99% of the aerial threats were shot down, which he said was a strategic achievement.
Zero of the close to 200 drones and zero of the 30 cruise missiles got through to Israeli territory at all.
Twenty five of the 30 cruise missiles were shot down by Israel.
Of 130 ballistic missiles, only a small number got through.

Nebatim base sustains minor damage
The censor permitted publishing that the base which had minor hits was Nebatim in the desert, a key base for the F-35. Israel also published photos and video which it said were showing Nebatim air base still fully functioning despite the minor hits.
