The Israeli Air Force completed a wave of strikes targeting Iranian headquarters in Tehran, where Iranian soldiers were gathered, IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin says in a press conference.
Defrin says more than 100 IAF fighter jets were involved in the strikes, which targeted dozens of headquarters belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, including its intelligence, air force, and internal security units.
“These are significant and powerful strikes. These headquarters operated against Israel and the entire world. Today, they were destroyed along with everyone operating in them,” Defrin says.
The IDF also publishes a new video showing strikes on Iranian air defense systems and ballistic missile launchers in western Iran.
