The Israeli Air Force bombed two Iranian F-5 fighter jets at Dezful Airport in Iran a short while ago, the military says.

Additionally, strikes this morning destroyed eight ballistic missile launchers, including six that were primed for an immediate attack on Israel, the IDF says.

The military says that strikes last night carried out by 20 fighter jets in central Iran hit dozens of Iranian military targets.

The targets included “a military site containing components for the production of explosives, sites for the storage and production of weapons, and Iranian air defense systems,” along with military infrastructure at Isfahan Airport, to prevent the Iranian Air Force from using the site’s military facilities,” the IDF says.
