Israeli Air Force fighter jets hit an Iranian ballistic missile engine production site near Iran’s Shahrud last night, some 2,000 kilometers from Israel, IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin says in a press conference.
According to the military, the strike hit “planetary mixers and critical machinery used to manufacture missile engines,” the kind that have been fired at Israel in recent days.
“The targeted site is part of the effort to disrupt the Iranian regime’s surface-to-surface missile production industry, which is intended to produce thousands of missiles in the coming years,” the IDF adds.
