The IAF Concluded a Wave of Strikes in the Skies of Tehran Tonight

MG Tomer Bar: “These strikes carry operational and national significance. We damaged -  and will continue to damage - strategic sites and enemy sources of knowledge" 

Overnight, the IAF struck dozens of targets, including surface-to-air missile infrastructure, as part of the effort to damage the Iranian Regime's aerial defense capabilities in the area of Tehran.

Remarks from the Commanding officer of the Israeli Air Force, MG Tomer Bar at a situational assessment after the strikes in Tehran: "After an active day in which we struck hundreds of targets, including dozens of surface-to-air targets, we conducted a series of precise strikes of operational and national significance which improved our aerial superiority and our freedom of activity in Iran. For the first time since the beginning of the war, over 1,500 km from Israeli territory, the IAF struck defense arrays in the area of Tehran.

We chose to take action against an existential threat to our civilians, with professionalism, determination, and precision.

Activities like these require complicated coordination and collaboration between different sources and capabilities in the force. The IAF will continue to operate in all arenas, in offense, and in defense, as the long strategic arm of the IDF."
