Dozens of Air Force fighter jets, under the intelligence guidance of the Military Intelligence Directorate, completed a extensive strike against strategic defense systems of the Iranian terror regime. The systems were recently deployed to restore the detection and defense capabilities that were damaged in Operation ‘Lion’s Roar’. The strike led to the destruction of the systems and the deepening of our forces’ freedom of action in the skies of Iran.
1+The IDF updates that dozens of Air Force fighter jets, under the intelligence guidance of Aman, completed an extensive strike today (Monday) against strategic defense systems of the Iranian terror regime. The strike was executed a short while ago and was designed to degrade Iran’s defense capabilities. These defense systems were recently deployed in several different areas across Iran. Their deployment was part of the Iranian regime’s efforts to restore its detection and defense capabilities, which were significantly damaged in a previous operation called ‘Lion’s Roar’.
According to the IDF, the extensive strike completed by our forces led to the total destruction of the Iranian defense systems. This operation serves to considerably deepen the operational freedom of action of the Israeli Air Force in the skies of Iran, and strengthens deterrence against the terror regime.
1+Earlier tonight, a wave of strikes was executed on Iranian soil in response to the launches carried out toward the north of the country. The attack was accompanied by reports of explosions heard in five major cities across the region. According to reports in the Arabic media, among the targets attacked was Mehrabad Airport in Tehran. Concurrently, the sounds of explosions were reported in the cities of Tehran, Kermanshah, and Tabriz, and reports were also received regarding a strike executed in the area of Baghdad, Iraq.
The airstrike was carried out by Israeli fighter jets that passed through Iraqi airspace. During the operation, long-range munitions and precision missiles were used against the Iranian targets. In Iran, data has begun to be published regarding the extent of the damage caused by the wave of strikes, but official information on the specific locations hit deep inside the country remains limited at this stage, in accordance with reporting policy.
