Jerusalem, 19 June, 2025 (TPS-IL) — The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) confirmed that the Israel Air Force and Navy intercepted hundreds of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) launched from Iran at the territory of the State of Israel. So far, more than 95% of the targets that posed a threat and approached the territory of the country have been successfully intercepted.

“The air and naval control systems, in close cooperation with the air defense systems, aircraft, missile ships and other security elements, are working day and night to protect the skies of the State of Israel,” said the IDF. “Alongside the mission of attacking and disabling the Iranian regime’s firepower, the forces are working to intercept the surface-to-surface missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles that have been launched in recent days towards the territory of the State of Israel and population centers, with the aim of deliberately harming the citizens of the State of Israel.”
