Israel claims Iran firing fewer missiles at it ‘every day’

The Israeli military claims that its strikes on Iran’s missile launchers have led to a daily decline in the number of missiles fired at Israel, AFP reports.

“We’ve neutralised around 300 ballistic missile launchers. We believe our operations against those missile launchers and against those stockpiles are an integral part of the fact that we’re seeing the amounts of missiles fired every day diminish,” military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani has told journalists.
