One third of Iran’s missile launchers destroyed - IDF
Israel claims that a third of Iran's missile launchers were destroyed during the strikes on Iran.
This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to the official Telegram channel of the Israeli Defense Forces.
Allegedly, on the night of Sunday, June 15, more than 20 surface-to-surface missiles were destroyed a few minutes before Iran planned to launch them at Israel.
Some 50 Israeli aircraft completed several waves of strikes overnight, targeting approximately 100 military targets in Isfahan, in central Iran. They identified and struck missile storage sites, surface-to-surface missile launchers that were ready to launch, and command centers where launch teams were preparing to launch toward Israel.
In addition, in real time, the pilots detected a rocket launcher that was attempting to launch toward Israel. It was destroyed along with the missiles.
"Since the beginning of the operation, more than 120 rocket launchers have been destroyed, which is one third of the total number of launchers of the Iranian regime," the IDF said.
