The IDF publishes footage of its strikes earlier today on an Iranian ballistic missile facility in the Yazd area, where it says Iran stored long-range Khorramshahr missiles.
According to the military, Israeli Air Force fighter jets flew some 2,200 kilometers (1,400 miles) from Israel to strike the site.
From the facility, some 60 missiles had previously been fired at Israel, the IDF said earlier.
“In broad daylight, we surprised the Imam Hussein missile headquarters in central Iran, the furthest target we’ve struck to date,” says IAF chief Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar in remarks published by the military. (The deepest strike in Iran was actually last week’s IAF bombing of the Mashhad airport, over 2,300 kilometers from Israel.)
“We destroyed Khorramshahr missiles before they were launched at Israel and struck tunnels used to store the missiles,” Bar says.
“We are continuing waves of strikes across Iran, disrupting the enemy’s ability to launch salvos into Israeli territory, degrading their firepower capabilities, and operating decisively to defend the Israeli home front and reduce rocket fire,” he adds.
