ALBAWABA - In a statement issued by Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) spokesperson Daniel Hagari, it was revealed that a limited number of Iranian missiles reached Israeli territory amidst the ongoing conflict. 

Hagari reported that the attack, which saw over 200 missiles launched, resulted in the targeting of an Israeli military airport by Iranian rockets.

According to Hagari, despite the intensity of the missile barrage, only a small portion of the projectiles launched by Iran actually landed within Israeli borders. This statement comes amid conflicting reports regarding the extent of the damage caused by the Iranian missile strikes.

The IOF spokesperson's remarks shed light on the situation, contrasting with earlier reports suggesting a higher number of missiles striking Israel.

Additionally, Iranian news agency reports claimed that Iranian forces successfully targeted an Israeli airbase in the Negev region with Khaybar missiles. Meanwhile, Israeli sources estimated that approximately 150 missiles were launched towards Israel during the recent escalation.
