Army spokesman Daniel Hagari said the drones would take hours before reaching Israel’s airspace.
Israel’s military says Iran has launched a number of drones at Israel, and it will take hours to arrive.
Iran’s press TV, citing Iranian sources, also reported that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched extensive drone strikes against targets in Israel on Saturday.
This comes nearly two weeks after an Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria killed seven IRGC members.
“Iran launched UAVs from its territory towards the territory of the state of Israel,” Israel’s army’s spokesman, Daniel Hagari, said late on Saturday.
“We are on high alert and readiness,” he added, speaking in a televised address, saying the drones would take several hours before reaching Israel’s airspace.
