US air defences ‘missed 80% of Iranian missiles’ – Zionist media

US air defences failed to intercept 80% of the ballistic missiles launched by Iran towards “israel” in mid-April, Zionist Army Radio reported Thursday.

it said the US systems deployed against the Iranian ballistic missiles during the attack on “israel” largely failed, as only two out of eight missiles launched from the sea intercepted their targets.

No information was provided on the fate of the missiles that the US defences failed to intercept. The radio station also did not say where it got the information from..

On the evening of 13 April, Iran launched a direct retaliatory attack on “israel” using drones and ballistic missiles. This was in response to “israel’s” targeting of the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria,  in which leaders and members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard were killed two weeks earlier.

“israel” and the United States claimed they had intercepted most missiles and drones launched by Iran.
