The IDF spokesman stated that "during the last 72 hours, the terrorist organization Hezbollah launched 16 hostile aircraft towards Israeli territory. Of these, the air defense systems and fighter jets successfully intercepted 11 hostile aircraft." This represents only a 68% success rate.
The IDF also stated that "the Air Force works to thwart any terrorist plot, as part of the mission of protecting the country's skies, using fighter jets, air defense systems and the control system, and continues to work for the defense of Israel's borders 24/7."
