The IDF publishes footage of its strikes on Iranian air defense systems earlier.

Overnight and this morning, dozens of Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck nine Iranian air defense systems in western and central Iran, according to the IDF.

The footage published by the military shows a strike on one of the systems, which the IDF says was armed with anti-aircraft missiles.

“The destruction of the systems further expands the Israeli Air Force’s aerial superiority in the skies over Iran, with the goal of continuing to remove threats to the citizens of the State of Israel,” the military adds.
