The IDF announced Sunday morning that it carried out overnight strikes deep inside Iran, destroying dozens of ballistic missiles that were prepared for launch and further damaging the Iranian regime’s missile and air defense systems.

According to the military, the Israeli Air Force, guided by Military Intelligence, completed an additional wave of attacks targeting the Iranian regime’s ballistic missile array and air defense infrastructure in western and central Iran. As part of the operation, the Air Force intensified its efforts and struck several launch sites in central Iran that had not previously been targeted.

One of the locations hit was a missile launch site in the Qom region of central Iran. The site reportedly stored Qadr-H-1 ballistic missiles capable of carrying hundreds of kilograms of explosives. The strikes on the missile systems and launch infrastructure thwarted dozens of planned launches toward the State of Israel and significantly weakened what the IDF described as the regime’s most significant offensive capability.

The IDF said it also carried out an additional round of strikes overnight against the Iranian regime’s ballistic missile network and air defense systems.

In a statement, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said: “The IDF continues to strike the missile array and air defense systems of the Iranian terrorist regime. The completed strikes improve the Air Force’s freedom of action and thwart numerous launches and missiles that threatened the citizens of the State of Israel and the Middle East.”
