The Israeli Air Force carried out a wave of strikes with 30 fighter jets in four areas of Iran earlier today, targeting missile and drone sites, the IDF says.

Dozens of targets were hit simultaneously in Isfahan, Bushehr, Ahvaz, and, for the first time, also Yazd, according to the military.

The IDF says some 60 munitions were dropped by the fighter jets in the strikes.

“As part of the wave of strikes, fighter jets targeted for the first time the ‘Imam Hussein’ strategic missile headquarters in the Yazd area, where long-range Khorramshahr missiles were stored,” the military says, adding that from this facility, some 60 missiles had been fired at Israel.

Simultaneously, in Isfahan, Bushehr and Ahvaz, the military says it targeted missile launchers, air defense battery production sites, a headquarters of an Iranian drone regiment and a drone storage facility.

Amid the strikes, the IDF says an air force drone identified Iranian soldiers “arming missile launchers, and eliminated them shortly afterward.”
