The Israeli military says it has established new bodies in the Intelligence Directorate and Air Force that will enable “repetitive actions” in Iran.
A new Iran department was established in the Intelligence Directorate’s Research Division, and a so-called “depth” department was established in the Air Force’s Intelligence Department.
Additionally, the military says the Air Force carried out many training exercises ahead of the long-range strikes that took place last weekend.
More than 100 IAF aircraft participated in the strikes on Iran early Saturday, according to the military, which it says took out Iran’s “strategic” long-range air defense systems and caused a blow to Iran’s ability to manufacture ballistic missiles.
The strikes on the air defenses have “opened up freedom of aerial action” against Iran, and the strikes on the missile manufacturing sites “removed an immediate and future threat to the State of Israel,” the military says.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
