Israel's military says air defenses intercept Iranian missiles
[Regnum] The Israel Defense Forces have recorded the launch of missiles from Iran. Air defense systems are intercepting them, the IDF Spokesperson’s Office reported on June 20.

"Some time ago, the Israel Defense Forces detected missiles fired from Iran towards Israeli territory. Defense systems are working to eliminate the threat," the military clarified on the Telegram channel.

It is noted that an air raid alert was declared in a number of areas of the Jewish state. The population was advised to take shelter from a rocket attack in protected areas.

As reported by Regnum News Agency, a former Israeli intelligence officer admitted in an interview with NBC News that the Iron Dome air defense system is unable to intercept Iran's high-speed missiles. Despite the losses in the Islamic Republic's leadership after the Israeli attacks, Iran still has significant stockpiles of missiles, the source noted.

Iran's Supreme National Security Council said the military would stop launching missile strikes once Israel was punished and compensated for the damage it had suffered.
