Over 150 Iranian drones cross Iraqi airspace toward Israel
Shafaq News/ More than 150 Iranian drones flew through Iraqi airspace en route to Israel, a senior Iraqi security source told Shafaq News on Friday.
The source noted that the drones passed specifically over northeastern areas of Diyala during Iran’s retaliatory strike against Israel, adding that Iraqi security forces discovered five missile remnants and debris in scattered locations across the province.
Earlier today, the Israeli military confirmed that Iran had launched dozens of drones toward Israel in response to Tel Aviv’s unprecedented military operation that killed Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists.
