Initially, IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari said that minor damage was sustained to infrastructure at the IDF Nevatim base in southern Israel during the attack.
The Oct. 6 Israel would probably let an attack that did virtually no damage slide. The Oct. 7 Israel knows that sending messages of weakness begets more insecurity. Which Israel will we see today?
The recent drone attack and lack of response from Israel indicate that Iran may feel comfortable conducting more direct strikes - and so far they have every reason to keep trying.
In the wake of Iran's attack on Israel, Israelis describe the feeling of impending doom, ranging from fear in the unknown to pride in the country's defense capabilities.
Iran conducted the largest drone attack in history, and yet Israel managed to hold off 99% of it. Now Israel is looking ahead - to a response to Iran, and continued operations in the Gaza strip.
Despite fear and uncertainty about the impending Iranian missile and drone attack on Saturday night, the overwhelming sentiment was that of gratitude, and a dose of dark humor.
Hagari added that zero of the close to 200 drones and zero of the 30 cruise missiles got through to Israeli territory at all.
"We sincerely appreciate your firm stand against the Iranian regime's indiscriminate aggression towards Israel," Israeli ambassador to Spain Radian-Gordon told People's Party president Feijóo.
Chikli shared a comment by Iran policy analyst Sarah Raviani, who claimed that to bring peace in the Middle East, "Khamenei’s oppressive regime occupying Iran, must be overthrown."
"Before I go any further, I want to say God bless the people of Israel. They're under attack right now," Trump said at campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
