The Israeli Air Force says it struck over 400 Iranian military targets in western Iran today, as it launches a new wave of strikes in the area.
Among the targets hit today in western Iran were ballistic missile launchers and warehouses containing drones, according to the military.
The IDF estimates that Iran still has 100-200 remaining ballistic missile launchers, after it reported destroying over 300 of them so far in the current war. The military says it is continuing to “hunt down” the launchers to “reduce as much as possible the scope of fire towards Israel.”
Additionally, the IDF says it carried out an airstrike against a mobile air defense system while Iranian soldiers were working to move it from Shahrud — east of Tehran — to another location in Iran.
