The Israeli Air Force carried out several waves of airstrikes in Iran in the past day, targeting dozens of Iranian weapon production facilities, the military says.

According to the military, 60 IAF fighter jets dropped more than 150 bombs on the facilities near Tehran and in central Iran.

In a wave of strikes in Isfahan overnight, the military says it bombed several weapon manufacturing sites, including one belonging to the IRGC Quds Force, and a facility used to manufacture air defense systems.

In the Parchin area, east of Tehran, the IDF says it bombed “the Iranian regime’s most central facility for the production of missiles and defense systems.”

The IDF says the targets at Parchin included a facility used to develop air defense systems; a plant for casting and filling warheads with explosives; a site for mixing and casting engines for the development of ballistic missiles; and a facility for producing critical components for solid-fuel ballistic missiles.
