The Israeli Air Force bombed an underground weapons facility in western Iran today, IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin reveals in a press conference.

According to the IDF, the site was used by Iran to store dozens of ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as launch them. IAF fighter jets struck the underground site along with launchers.

“The site had previously been revealed in a propaganda video released by the Iranian regime,” the IDF says.

The video shows Mohammad Bagheri, the Armed Forces chief of staff and IRGC Air Force chief Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who were both killed in Israeli strikes on Friday.
