JERUSALEM (AP) —The Israeli military says Iran has launched a number of drones toward Israel.
The army’s spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, said it would take several hours for the aircraft to arrive. He said Israel was prepared. He spoke Saturday evening.
Israel has been on heightened alert since an airstrike last week killed two Iranian generals in Syria. Iran accused Israel of being behind the attack and vowed revenge. Israel has not commented on that attack.
According to the report, Iran has launched “dozens” of drones which are headed toward Israel.
The Israel Defense Force (IDF) announced Saturday evening:
Iran launched UAVs from within its territory toward Israel a short while ago.

The Israel Defense Force (IDF) Aerial Defense Array is on high alert, along with IAF fighter jets and Israeli Navy vessels that are on a defense mission in Israeli air and naval space. The Israel Defense Force (IDF) is monitoring all targets.
