JERUSALEM, June 13, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Israel's military spokesman Brigadier 
General Effie Defrin said on Friday that Israel intercepted "most" drones 
launched from Iran in response to air strikes on military and nuclear sites.

"Earlier, we alerted about a large-scale drone launch targeting our 
territory. Most of the targets were intercepted", Defrin said during a press 
briefing after the army said Iran had launched about 100 drones towards 
Israel.

"The Israeli Air Force continues to operate to intercept unmanned aerial 
vehicles (UAVs) launched from Iran toward the State of Israel," the military 
said in a statement shortly before Defrin's briefing.

In its largest military action against Iran to date, Israel's wave of strikes 
hit about 100 targets including nuclear facilities and military command 
centres, and killed senior figures, among them the armed forces chief and top 
nuclear scientists.
