Kathmandu. Since the start of the ongoing war in the Middle East, Iran has fired more than 400 ballistic missiles at Israel and about 92 percent of them have been neutralized in the air, according to Israel. The Israeli army released the data a day after at least 175 people were injured in two cities in southern Israel. According to the spokesman of the Israeli army, Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani, Iran has so far fired more than 400 ballistic missiles.

We have high blocking capacity. More than 92 percent of the missiles have been neutralized in the air, he said in a press conference. Dimona, which is believed to be home to Israel's undeclared nuclear arsenal, was among the cities attacked on Saturday. It is said that the impact of the attack was about five kilometers from the nuclear center. 

In another nearby city, Arad, many buildings were damaged. According to Shoshani, some of the missiles fired on Saturday were of a different nature than the ballistic missiles used before, and only four of them have been used.
