IDF Expands Air Campaign Across Iran, Targeting Missile Systems and Weapons Production
The IDF is intensifying its offensive against key military systems and capabilities of the Iranian regime, according to a statement released Friday by the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.
The military said that during the night, the Israeli Air Force carried out two coordinated waves of strikes based on intelligence gathered by the IDF. The operations targeted locations in Tehran and additional areas in central Iran, hitting dozens of sites tied to the regime’s military infrastructure.
In the strikes on Tehran, Israeli forces hit multiple facilities used for manufacturing weapons intended to be used against the State of Israel and other countries. The operation also targeted locations involved in producing components for long-range ballistic missiles, which are considered a direct threat to Israel.
In a separate wave of attacks east of Tehran, the IDF struck storage sites housing long-range missile launchers. According to the military, operatives affiliated with the ballistic missile program were present at the locations during the strikes.
The IDF said it had recently identified Iranian personnel preparing to launch ballistic missiles from central Iran toward Israeli territory. These launches, officials noted, have shifted to that region after earlier operations significantly weakened Iran’s launch capabilities in western areas during extensive strikes carried out as part of Operation Roaring Lion.
“The IDF will continue to deepen the degradation of the Iranian regime’s fire array all across Iran, with the aim of reducing as much as possible the scope of fire directed toward the territory of the State of Israel,” said the IDF statement.
“The completed strikes are part of a phase aimed at further deepening the damage to the core systems and foundations of the Iranian terror regime,” it added.
