Some 15 Iranian drones were launched against Israel on Friday, the Israeli army said.

“Over the past day (Friday), the IAF Aerial Defense Array, command and control array, fighter jets, and helicopters intercepted over 15 UAVs launched from Iran toward Israeli territory,” the military said in a statement.

At least 55 people were injured in an Iranian missile attack on the northern Israeli city of Haifa on Friday.

Israel's Channel 12 reported that 25 rockets were fired from Iran toward Israel.

Hostilities broke out on June 13 when Israel launched airstrikes on several sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory strikes.

Israeli authorities said at least 25 people have been killed and hundreds injured since then in Iranian missile attacks.​​​​​​​

Meanwhile, in Iran, 639 people have been killed and more than 1,300 wounded in the Israeli assault, according to Iranian media reports.
