The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) issued a statement on Saturday night declaring the deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) towards Israeli territory.

Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, an Israeli military spokesman, revealed in a televised statement that the drones, estimated to number between 100 and 250, were launched from Iran and are expected to take several hours to reach their destination.

“We are following the threat in the airspace. It’s a threat that will take a number of hours to arrive in Israel,” Hagari stated, indicating a serious and prolonged aerial threat.

Amid rising tensions, Israel has taken precautionary measures by closing schools and placing its military on high alert, bracing for potential impacts from the attack.
