IDF: Over the past two days, the Israeli Air Force conducted strikes on approximately 400 targets of the Iranian terrorist regime

Overnight, the Israeli Air Force, acting on intelligence, completed a broad wave of strikes against dozens of military infrastructure sites of the Iranian terror regime in the heart of Tehran.

The IDF further degraded the regime’s production industries, striking approximately 15 weapons manufacturing sites, including a central complex of the Iranian Ministry of Defense.

The Ministry of Defense had established within the targeted complex a missile production and development sites for missiles intended to be launched at aircraft and remotely piloted aircraft.

In parallel, the IDF struck air defense systems, launch sites, as well as production and storage facilities for ballistic missiles and missiles intended to target Israeli aircraft.

The completed strikes are part of the phase focused on deepening the damage to the core systems and foundations of the Iranian terror regime.

IDF:  The IDF struck money exchange sites in Beirut used to finance the Hezbollah terrorist organization

Overnight (Wednesday), the IDF struck two money exchange offices in the Beirut area that were used to finance the Hezbollah terrorist organization.

The two sites are “Boa Chance” money exchange office, owned by Hussein Ibrahim, and the “Trade Point International” money exchange office, which is owned by Mohamad Noureddine.

Hezbollah’s systematic use of money exchange offices for terror financing and money laundering, which was uncovered by the IDF a year ago, is one of the primary methods for Hezbollah to finance and conceal Iranian funds. The money exchange offices used to transfer funds to the terrorist organization and are a direct source of funding terror activity and their economic rehabilation. 

The exchange offices were struck after the IDF identified that they continued transferring funds to Hezbollah, and that the funds routed were used for terror activity against the State of Israel and it's civilians.

We are dismantling and targeting all of the systems of the Iranian terror regime and its proxies.

Defensive systems are deployed and prepared to intercept threats across the country. Even on the eve of the holiday, it is important to remember that the defense is not hermetic. I call on you from here—continue to follow the instructions of the Home Front Command.

In recent weeks, we have once again seen the strength of the IDF. The courage of the male and female troops operating along the various borders and beyond them. The professionalism of the Home Front Command personnel, and of all the support and logistics systems.

A sense of mission and commitment of all those serving in the IDF—whether in mandatory service, career service, or the reserves.

Citizens of Israel,

Tonight, you will sit at the Seder table in the midst of Operation Roaring Lion. Remember that IDF forces in the air, at sea, on land, and across all systems and sectors are prepared for both defense and offense, determined to protect you.

From here, I address the mothers, fathers, spouses, and family members of the IDF’s troops and commanders deployed along all of Israel’s borders.

We prepared for the holiday evening in order to provide the best possible response to each of our troops in every sector. Most of them are not celebrating the holiday with you. Be proud of them. They are acting with dedication, determination, and responsibility for the security of the State of Israel and its civilians during this holiday as well.

I also want to address the children of Israel—dear children, some of your mothers and fathers are not with you this holiday evening. Know that they are protecting you. They are a generation of lions, heroes and heroines.

The IDF is operating at all times to secure a better and safer future.

IDF: The IDF eliminated the Head of the Engineering Branch of the Quds Force’s Lebanon Corps in the Mahallat Area in Iran

Yesterday (Tuesday), the Israeli Air Force, acting on IDF Intelligence, struck and eliminated the engineer operative Mahdi Vafaei, Head of the Engineering Branch of the Quds Force’s Lebanon Corps, in the Mahallat area in Iran.

Throughout his 20 years as the Head of the Engineering Branch of the Corps, Vafaei advanced underground projects across Lebanon and Syria. 
Within that framework, he led the Iranian terror regime’s efforts to establish underground terrorist infrastructure sites for Hezbollah and the Assad regime in Syria, and managed dozens of underground projects in Lebanon utilized for the storage of advanced weapons.

Vafaei’s elimination degrades the Hezbollah terrorist organization’s capacity to develop underground infrastructure sites and undermines the Iranian terrorist regime’s efforts to advance and carry out terror attacks across the Middle East.

IDF: The IDF struck a factory that systematically transferred chemical substances to the Iranian terror regime designated for the development of chemical weapons

Earlier today (Tuesday), the IDF struck a research and development facility that systematically transferred chemical substances to the Iranian terror regime.

The factory, owned by the Tofiq Daru Company, served as a principal supplier of fentanyl to the SPND organization. The SPND organization is responsible for the development of chemical weapons for the Iranian terror regime.

The factory, which presented itself as a civilian company, in practice transferred to the Iranian terror regime chemical substances, including fentanyl, that were used for research and development of chemical weapons.

Fentanyl is an anesthetic that, in high doses, is considered a highly lethal substance. The Tofiq Daru Company knowingly and systematically supplied this deadly substance to the SPND organization, which used it to conduct research and development of chemical weapons.

The strike on the Tofiq Daru Company impaired the Iranian terror regime's chemical weapons production capabilities.

Prior to the strike, precautionary measures were taken in order to minimize possible harm to civilians, to the extent possible.
