IAF strikes missile launcher in IranIDF Spokesperson

The IDF continues to strike the Iranian terror regime's offensive capabilities across Iran.

Over the day on Thursday, the Israeli Air Force completed more than 20 strikes in central and western Tehran, striking dozens of launch sites and ballistic missile storage sites with over 140 munitions.

An “Adir" F35i fighter jet detected a ballistic missile launch in a ballistic missile storage site. After the identification, the launcher was struck, and ballistic missile launch attacks against the State of Israel were thwarted.

Additionally, the IDF confirmed on Thursday that 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.

During Operation Roaring Lion, the Israeli Air Force has conducted hundreds of strikes towards the IRGC’s ballistic missile and aerial defense array, in order to degrade the IRGC’s missile array and prevent missile launches towards the State of Israel.
