Israeli military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said interceptors were launched in both cases of Iranian missile fire on Saturday but failed to stop the incoming attack.
More than 90% of launches are typically intercepted, he added.
The two Iranian missiles injured more than 150 people in southern Israel on Saturday, hospital officials say.
