Israeli Air Force fighter jets have begun shooting down drones launched at Israel from Iran earlier this morning, the Times of Israel reports.

 According to a military official, the drones are being intercepted outside Israel's borders.

 Those that are not intercepted in advance are expected to reach Israel in about an hour. 

A senior Iraqi security source previously told Shafaq News that more than 150 Iranian drones flew through Iraqi airspace on their way to Israel.
