Israel eliminates Iranian missile unit commander

The IDF has eliminated the commander of a ballistic missile unit in the Kermanshah area, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) press office reported.

“The IDF continues to operate with determination to degrade the Iranian regime’s ballistic missile infrastructure.

In a precise strike in the Kermanshah area, the Israeli Air Force struck and eliminated Makram Atimi, the Commander of a central missile unit in western Iran. Atimi was responsible for the unit’s operations in the Kermanshah region in western Iran and carried out dozens of ballistic missile launches toward the State of Israel.

In an additional strike, the IDF eliminated a number of battalion commanders from the ballistic missile unit responsible for dozens of ballistic missile launches against Israel from northwestern Iran.

Their elimination further degrades the Iranian terror regime’s ballistic missile unit, alongside the ongoing dismantling of missile infrastructure in western and central Iran.

The IDF will continue to eliminate the commanders of the ballistic missile array and is continuing at this very moment to strike the regime’s firepower arrays, with the goal of reducing the scope of fire toward the citizens of Israel,” the statement said.
