The Times of Israel is liveblogging Saturday’s events as they unfold.
Man lightly hurt by shattered glass in Bnei Brak in Iranian missile attack
A 45-year-old man was lightly injured by shattered glass in Bnei Brak after an Iranian ballistic missile attack targeted central Israel, Hebrew media outlets report.
He was taken to Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center for treatment, reports say.
Iran reportedly recovering bombed missile bunkers within hours after being struck
Iranian personnel are digging out underground missile bunkers and silos from the rubble, bringing them back into service hours after being struck by the US and Israel, according to US intelligence reports cited by the New York Times.
American intelligence also assesses that Tehran has preserved a notable amount of missiles and mobile launchers, and has cast doubt on how close Washington has come to its goal of destroying the Islamic Republic’s missile capability, the Times reports.
According to the report, Washington cannot be certain how many missile launchers have been destroyed because Iran has deployed decoys.
