The IDF released the following statement today (Sunday):
"A short while ago, Israeli Air Force fighter jets flew over Iranian territory and began striking storage facilities containing long-range surface-to-surface missiles, known as “Khorramshahr,” in the Yazd area.
"The Commander of the Israeli Air Force, Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar, and Head of Air Operations, Brig. Gen. Gilad Keinan, commanded the strike in real-time from the IAF control room."
Air Force Commander Bar had this to say on the operation:
"In broad daylight, we surprised the ‘Imam Hussein’ missile headquarters in central Iran, the furthest target we’ve struck to date. We destroyed Khorramshahr missiles before they were launched at Israel and struck tunnels used to store the missiles. We are continuing waves of strikes across Iran, disrupting the enemy’s ability to launch salvos into Israeli territory, degrading their firepower capabilities, and operating decisively to defend the Israeli home front and reduce rocket fire.”
