IDF: The IDF struck production and storage sites for aerial defense systems and ballistic missiles

The IDF continues to degrade the Iranian terror regime's military systems and capabilities. 

Overnight (Saturday), the Israeli Air Force, acting on IDF Intelligence, completed a wide-scale wave of strikes targeting infrastructure sites of the Iranian terror regime in Tehran.

As part of the effort to deepen the damage to the regime’s infrastructure, the IDF struck a central site utilized by the Iranian Defense Ministry to produce critical components of ballistic missiles - the site is one of only two sites of its kind in Iran where critical components were developed for the assembly and operationalization of missiles set to launch toward the State of Israel.

The strike on the site degraded the regime’s capabilities, and the Ministry of Defense in particular, to develop the components required to operate these missiles.

Additionally, the IDF struck dozens of additional weapon production sites, including:

* Production sites for ballistic missile engines belonging to the Iranian Ministry of Defense.
* A weapons production and storage facility.
* A production site for engines for UAVs.
* A central site used by the Iranian military for the development of air defense systems, as well as the production and storage of missiles set to target aircraft.

The IDF continues to deepen its strikes against the regime’s military industries in order to deny the production capabilities it has built over years.

IDF: “Creating Long-Term Regional Change”: The Operational Preparations from the Dramatic Moments Leading Up to Operation “Roaring Lion”

One month ago, IDF troops in the air, at sea, and on the ground launched Operation “Roaring Lion,” an operation intended to remove an immediate threat to the State of Israel and to degrade the enemy’s infrastructure and capabilities.

In the days leading up to Operation “Roaring Lion,” focused operational preparations took place, including situational assessments, intelligence updates, approval of plans, multi-front readiness, and inter-service coordination, until the conditions were met for issuing the order to commence the operation.

The operation was carried out on the basis of precise intelligence, orderly operational planning, and coordination between IDF branches, alongside cooperation with international partners in the United States.

IDF: The IDF completed an additional wave of strikes targeting temporary command centers and weapons production sites in Tehran

Yesterday (Saturday), the Israeli Air Force, acting on IDF Intelligence, completed a wide-scale wave of strikes targeting infrastructure of the Iranian terror regime in the heart of Tehran.

As part of the strikes, the IDF has deepened the degradation of the regime’s weapons production infrastructure, targeting dozens of weapons storage and production sites.

In recent days, the IDF identified that the Iranian regime had begun relocating its command centers to mobile units, after most of its command centers were struck by the IDF over the past month, as part of Operation Roaring Lion. As part of the wave of strikes, the IDF dismantled several temporary command centers, including commanders who were operating within those headquarters. 

In addition, the IDF struck ballistic missile production and storage facilities, aerial defense systems, and observation posts of the Iranian regime.

The completed strikes are part of the effort to further degrade the Iranian terror regime’s core systems and capabilities.
