Israeli Air Force fighter jets completed an “extensive blow” against Iran’s air defenses in the west of the country, the military says.

As part of the strike, the IDF says dozens of radars and air defense missile launchers were destroyed.

The military says the strikes “improve the freedom of action in the air” for IAF aircraft.

Footage is released by the IDF from one of the strikes.
