The Israeli Air Force is carrying out strikes on Iranian ballistic missile launchers in western Iran, the IDF announces.

The IDF has previously said it is working to “hunt down” Iran’s missile launchers to prevent attacks on Israel. It reported this morning that a third of the launchers, around 120, have been destroyed.

Meanwhile, Iran’s state media reports that air defense has been activated at the Isfahan nuclear facilities.

The IDF confirmed on Friday that it had hit the nuclear facility, along with another one in Natanz.

There was no immediate confirmation of an additional strike.
