Israeli air force strikes Iran’s ballistic missile infrastructure, military says

The Israel Defence Forces said its air force carried out a series of overnight strikes targeting Iran’s ballistic missile production infrastructure and air defence-related facilities across the country.

In a statement, the military said that in the Tehran area, Israeli forces struck sites and infrastructure used by what it described as the Iranian regime to manufacture weapons, with a primary focus on ballistic missiles.

The Israel Defence Forces added that in western Iran, the Israeli Air Force conducted additional strikes based on military intelligence, targeting assets linked to Iran’s offensive capabilities. According to the statement, the targets included missile launchers and storage facilities that were considered a threat to Israel.

“In strikes carried out throughout Tehran, the IDF targeted sites and infrastructures that were used by the Iranian terror regime to produce weapons, primarily ballistic missiles.

In western Iran, the Israeli Air Force acting on IDF intelligence struck various targets related to the Iranian terror regime’s firepower arrays. Among the targets that were struck were missile launchers and missile storage sites, which posed a threat to the State of Israel.

The IDF continues to operate relentlessly against the regime’s ballistic missile array, with the aim of reducing the scope of fire directed at Israeli civilians,” the statement said.
