An Israeli military official tells Reuters the army estimates it has struck two-thirds of Iran’s ballistic missile launchers.

Iran is still believed to have more than 100 missile launchers, the official says.

Officials have said the launchers are a prime target, as they are the bottleneck for Tehran’s ability to launch its thousands of missiles at Israel.
