Iran launched 365 ballistic missiles at Israel since the start of the war on February 28 until Thursday morning, the Israel Defense Forces said. The military's data also showed that 285 of the missiles crossed into Israeli airspace; about 270 were intercepted by Israel's air defenses, for an interception rate exceeding 90 percent. Military officials warned, however, that interceptions of missiles with cluster warheads do not always neutralize the missiles' submunitions, or bomblets.
