The IDF releases footage showing strikes on six armed Iranian ballistic missile launchers that it says were primed for attacks on Israel.

The Israeli Air Force struck the launchers over the course of several hours, overnight between Wednesday and Thursday, minutes before the missiles were set to be fired at Israel, the military says.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said last night that 60 percent of Iran’s missile launchers had been destroyed so far in the ongoing campaign.
