Israel and allies including the US, UK and France managed to mostly foil an unprecedented attack by Iran on the Jewish state.
The Islamic Republic fired more than 300 drones and missiles against Israel on Saturday evening. Almost all were intercepted before they reached Israeli airspace and there were no fatalities reported. A 10-year-old girl in Israel was badly injured by falling shrapnel, while an army base was lightly damaged.
