The Israeli Air Force struck an armed ballistic missile launcher and killed several Iranian soldiers minutes before they could attack Israel last night, the military says.

According to the military, the IAF identified a squad of Iranian soldiers preparing to launch ballistic missiles at Israel from western Iran.

An IAF drone was then dispatched to the area and “destroyed the missile launcher, and then eliminated the launch team, minutes before they were set to fire at the State of Israel,” the military says.

The IDF publishes footage of the strikes.
