The IDF says it has completed an extensive wave of airstrikes targeting “strategic” Iranian air defense systems.
One of the targets was an “advanced SA-65 air defense system” deployed in the Kermanshah area, according to the military.
“The IDF continues at this time to strike infrastructure of the Iranian terror regime in order to cause a blow to the regime and thwart threats to the Israeli home front,” the military adds.
