Reuters. A surveillance footage on Friday (April 12) night captured the moment dozens of missiles were intercepted in the sky over the Israel-Lebanon border.
The Israeli army said in a statement on Friday that 'approximately 40 launches were identified crossing from Lebanese territory. Most of the missiles were intercepted while the rest had fallen in open areas, the statement added. No injuries were reported.
Israel on Friday braced for an attack by Iran or its proxies as warnings grew of retaliation for the killing last week of a senior officer in Iran's embassy in Damascus.
Israel did not claim responsibility for the airstrike on April 1 that killed Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior commander in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps' overseas Quds Force, and six other officers as they attended a meeting in the Damascus embassy compound.
