The Israeli Air Force bombed several Iranian weapon manufacturing plants in Iran yesterday, the IDF says.
Some 50 IAF fighter jets participated in the waves of strikes in three areas of Iran, according to the military.
The IDF says the targets included a facility used to manufacture various weapons; an Iranian defense ministry site used to develop advanced explosive devices for Iran’s proxy groups, including Hamas and Hezbollah; and a site used to manufacture components for ballistic missiles and anti-aircraft missiles.
The weapon production sites were hit as part of the same waves of strikes targeting a yellowcake production plant near the central Iranian city of Yazd and a heavy water reactor near Arak, which the IDF announced yesterday.
