Israeli military claims 70% of Iranian missile launchers destroyed

The Israeli military announced on Monday that it has destroyed an estimated 70% of Iran’s missile launchers during the first two weeks of the ongoing conflict.

Military spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani told reporters that while Iran continues to fire missiles at Israel, the frequency of launches has been significantly reduced, AP reports.

According to Shoshani, Israel has carried out approximately 7,600 strikes in Iran, eliminating 85% of Iran’s air defenses and targeting several Iranian nuclear sites.

“The war will go on for as long as needed,” Shoshani said, adding that Israel still has thousands of potential targets it is prepared to strike.
