YWN published this article. Rav Zilberstein shlit”a says of course there were nissim:
_________________________________________
HaGaon HaRav Yitzchak Zilberstein spoke about the great nissim that Klal Yisrael experienced in Eretz Yisrael during the Iranian attack last Motzei Shabbos.
In a Yom Tov interview for ‘קו עיתונות,’ the Rav said. “We’re in Chodesh Nissan, the month of Geulah. We need to know that apart from general chizzuk in Torah and gemilus chassadim, which saves us from chevlei Moshiach, we also need to dedicate time to daven and cry out to Hakadosh Baruch Hu from the depths of our hearts – that He send us Moshiach and build the Beis Hamikdash and we’re zocheh to the Geulah quickly – and this will solve our tzaros all at once. Why should we daven for this and that problem when we have the ability to daven for Hakadosh Baruch to solve all our problems at once.”
Regarding the Iranian attack, HaRav Zilberstein said: “We’re at a difficult time – but we were zocheh to see nissim and niflaos on Motzei Shabbos when over 300 missiles should have landed in Eretz Yisrael but Hakadosh Baruch Hu saved us from their hands. The president of Iran said that he would strike the Jews with an attack that they would remember forever and in the end – the operation ended with HaKadosh Baruch Hu humiliating him.”
“איום ונורא! Sixty tons of explosives were on the way here…Hakadosh Baruch Hu showed him Who runs the world and made a mockery of him, that no missile succeeded in harming Eretz Yisrael. Who knows what could have been…I don’t know how to thank Hakadosh Baruch Hu.”

YWN Also quotes Rav Shternbuch Shlit”a of the Eida Hachareidis, not exactly a Zionist, that Hashem is protecting Israel and it’s not teva:

HaRav Shternbuch then changed the topic to that of Iran, saying: “I was asked in the past week if we need to fear Iran after they launched over 300 missiles and drones at Eretz Yisrael. I responded that according to nature, there is definitely what to fear but whoever remembers that Hakadosh Baruch Hu is with us has nothing to fear.”
“Chas v’chalilah to think that there’s nothing to fear because we have an army here – because the truth is that the only thing that protects us is the shemirah of Hakadosh Baruch Hu – and if chas v’chalilah Hakadosh Baruch Hu removes His special hashgacha and shemirah from us, we will all be lost from the world, rachmana litzlan.”
“It’s forbidden to forget the tzaar of the Shechinah when sinners mock HaKadosh Baruch Hu and say כוחי ועוצם ידי עשה לי את החיל הזה.’ Those who say this are the ones who truly hold back the yeshua and geulah.”
