Iran launched more than 100 drones at Israel on Friday in retaliation for devastating airstrikes that killed top military officials and scientists while disrupting its nuclear program.
The retribution came just hours after 200 fighter jets attacked Iran in a 'preemptive strike' that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said was intended to prevent a 'nuclear holocaust.'
'In the last few hours, Iran has launched more than 100 drones toward Israel, and all the defense systems are acting to intercept the threats,' Brig. Gen. Effie Deffrin, the IDF spokesman, said in a statement.
The drones will take several hours to reach Israel and the IDF is working to shoot them down, Deffrin said.
The Jewish state launched an attack on Tehran in a huge strike early Friday with over 200 warplanes.
