During a wave of airstrikes in Tehran overnight, the IDF says it struck dozens of targets relating to Iran’s production of ballistic missiles.
According to the military, the targets hit by the Israeli Air Force included a “key” complex of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps used to manufacture ballistic missile components; a storage facility for missile components; a complex of the Iranian defense ministry, tasked with producing missile fuel; and another ballistic missile components factory.
The IDF says it also struck several air defense systems in the Tehran area as part of the wave of strikes.
