JERUSALEM — The Israel Defense Forces said this morning that Israeli Air Force fighter jets had struck over 40 “missile infrastructure components” in Iran, the latest in a campaign by the Israeli military to neuter Tehran’s ability to launch effective counterattacks before they can get off the ground.
Strikes so far have included targeting missile production facilities, missile fuel sites, underground depots where the IDF says missiles are stored, and missile launchers. Israel’s ability to neutralize Iran’s air defenses has given Israel the ability to hunt down missiles even as they’re on their way to being launched.
This morning’s strikes specifically targeted a number of components of Iran’s missile program, including “missile storage sites and military operatives of the Iranian Regime,” the IDF said in a statement.
