IDF: Israeli Air Force Strikes Over 400 Iranian Targets in Western Iran, Targets Ballistic Missile Launchers
JERUSALEM (VINnews)-The Israeli Air Force conducted a new wave of airstrikes in western Iran on Thursday, hitting more than 400 military targets, the Israel Defense Forces said.
Among the sites struck were ballistic missile launchers and warehouses storing drones, according to the IDF.
The military estimates that Iran retains 100-200 operational ballistic missile launchers, after the IDF reported destroying more than 300 since the start of the current conflict. The IDF said it is continuing operations to “hunt down” remaining launchers “to reduce as much as possible the scope of fire towards Israel.”
In a separate strike, Israeli aircraft targeted a mobile air defense system in Shahrud, east of Tehran, while Iranian soldiers were relocating it to another site inside the country, the IDF said.
The strikes are part of ongoing Israeli efforts to degrade Iran’s missile and air defense capabilities amid escalating hostilities between the two nations.
