The Israeli Air Force says its operation against Iran is “advancing according to the plan” and “working well” so far.

Still, the IAF says it is preparing for a sudden further escalation with Iran.

Meanwhile, the IAF says it can now fly over Tehran with fighter jets, which it says is “significant.”

The IAF also says it is working to disrupt attempts by Iran to launch massive ballistic missile barrages on Israel, with fighter jets flying over the launch sites. As time goes on, Iran’s ability to launch missiles at Israel will be slowly degraded, the IAF says.

The military releases footage showing the identification of Iranian ballistic missile launchers in Tehran, shortly before they were targeted.
