Iran has been launching smaller salvos of missiles at Israel over the past two days because its capabilities have been degraded by Israeli strikes, the IDF believes.
According to IDF assessments, Iran is not trying to conserve missiles for a longer war, but rather, they are struggling to coordinate larger attacks.
The majority of Iran’s top military leadership has been eliminated in strikes, and some 40% of its ballistic missile launchers have been destroyed, according to the IDF.
The IDF has also said it has been “hunting down” missile launchers and thwarting the attacks.
Iran was launching dozens of missiles at a time in the first days of the conflict, but in the past day has been launching only a handful at a time. However, those attacks have been more frequent.
Because of the smaller missile attacks, the Home Front Command removed its pre-launch alert, which instructed civilians in areas potentially under threat from Iranian ballistic missiles to be prepared to head to bomb shelters.
