Iran launches 9 attacks in 24 hours, though number of missiles reducing
Reporting from Amman, Jordan
Al Jazeera is reporting from Jordan because it has been banned from Israel and the occupied West Bank.
That most recent one makes, we think, around nine in the last 24 hours.
The most consequential was in the early hours of Tuesday morning when about 30 missiles were fired at Israel in one wave, according to the Israeli military.
Again, most of them were destroyed. But a couple managed to get through and debris managed to get through and hit an area called Herzliya, where the Iranians say there was some sort of military base or militarily-significant location.
The Israeli military says they’ve destroyed about 200 missile-launching locations across Iran and they say they believe the Iranians can’t fire as many missiles as they want to.
Certainly, since Saturday, the number of missiles that Iran has been firing has been fewer, according to Israel. Over 200 on Saturday night into Sunday; 65 or so from Sunday night into Monday, and 30 or so from Monday night into Tuesday. So the numbers are going down because Iran is, maybe, not able to fire as many.
Nevertheless, some are getting through and they are causing the sort of damage you see. No immediate reports of casualties from this latest incident but 24 Israelis have been killed in all missile attacks in Israel since Friday.
