IDF: The IDF Reveals: The Israeli Air Force Struck Dozens of Launch Sites and Dismantled Approximately 300 Missile Launchers; Since the Start of the Operation, the Israeli Air Force Has Deployed 4,000 Munitions Across Iran

In the past 24 hours, hundreds of fighter jets and aircraft have been striking hundreds of targets simultaneously in Iran and Lebanon.

As part of the defensive effort, the Israeli Air Force continues to conduct successive waves of strikes against the Iranian regime’s ballistic missile arrays and air defense systems.

Since the start of Operation “Roaring Lion”, the Israeli Air Force has dismantled approximately 300 Iranian missile launchers. This is the result of more than 1,600 sorties and a systematic, around-the-clock effort to locate and target launchers and missile stockpiles in order to reduce fire toward the Israeli home front.

IDF: The IDF struck the covert ‘Minzadehei’ compound in which the Iranian terror regime operated to develop necessary capabilities for nuclear weapons

As part of Operation ‘Rising Lion’, the IDF struck numerous targets belonging to the Iranian nuclear weapon group, which is part of the Iranian Defense Ministry, in order to degrade the military nuclear weapon capabilities of the Iranian terror regime. 

Despite the severe damage, the Iranian terror regime did not cease nuclear weapon activities and continued to advance development of the required capabilities for nuclear weapons, while shifting infrastructure to an underground site defended against aerial strikes. 

In the site, a group of nuclear scientists operated covertly to develop a key component for nuclear weapons.

IDF intelligence continued to follow the scientists' activities and located their new location at this site in a manner that enabled a precise strike on the covert underground compound. 

The strike removes a key component in the Iranian regime’s capability to develop nuclear weapons and joins a series of strikes conducted during Operation ‘Rising Lion’ that were essential to eliminate the Iranian nuclear threat.

IDF: The IDF eliminated the Commander of Iran’s Quds Force's Lebanon Corps in Tehran

Earlier today (Tuesday), the Israeli Air Force, guided by IDF Intelligence, struck and eliminated the temporary commander of the Lebanon Corps of the Iranian Quds Force, Daoud Ali Zadeh, in Tehran. Ali Zadeh was the temporary replacement of Hassan Mahdavi, the former commander of the Lebanon Corps of the Iranian Quds Force, who was eliminated in an IDF strike.

Ali Zadeh, who was the equivalent of a brigadier general, was the highest-ranking Iranian commander responsible for Lebanon. The Lebanon Corp connects the Hezbollah terrorist organization and the Iranian terror regime, supports Hezbollah force-building, and functions as the connection between senior IRGC personnel and Hezbollah leadership.

Ali Zadeh had served in multiple roles, including as the Commander of the Strategic Weapons Corp in the Quds Force, where he supported proxy arming with strategic weapons.  Zadeh functioned as an expert, guiding Hezbollah and other proxies’ firepower capabilities.

Ali Zadeh took on this role after operation “Northern Arrows” and was involved in the terrorist organization’s rehabilitation, as well as drawing conclusions for future improvements in terrorist activity targeting Israel.  More recently, he pushed Hezbollah to execute terrorist activity against the State of Israel.

Israel will not allow Iranian elements that prevent Lebanon’s recovery and strengthen Hezbollah to establish themselves in Lebanon.

The IDF will continue to operate against Hezbollah’s attempts to rehabilitate and rearm itself and will act with force to eliminate any threat to the State of Israel.

IDF: IDF Chief of Staff to Air Defense Array Troops: “The Resilience of the Home Front Is a Central Component in This Operation. Part of That Resilience Is Confidence in You, Knowing That We Are Doing Everything—and That You Are Doing Everything—to Protect Them”

The Chief of Staff, LTG Eyal Zamir, visited the 947th Battalion of the Air Defense Array today (Tuesday), together with the Commander of Air Defense, BG K. and additional commanders.

The Chief of Staff spoke with the commanders and troops, expressing his appreciation for their work over the past several days as part of Operation ‘Roaring Lion.’

From the remarks of LTG Eyal Zamir:
“We are operating in parallel on two fronts. We are operating in Iran and against Hezbollah in Lebanon. These are two major adversaries of ours and they share many characteristics. This is one axis—the Shiite Axis, the Iranian axis and its proxies - and at this very moment we are working to neutralize threats to the residents of the State of Israel.

Our fighter jets are striking over the skies of Tehran. We are hunting launchers there. Some of the launchers that you are tasked with countering are now being engaged by UAVs and fighter jets to reduce the threats to our homefront.

Hezbollah made a very serious mistake. It chose to join the offensive. We were prepared for this and we now are striking it with significant force. We are determined to eliminate the threat Hezbollah poses and will not stop until the terror organization is disarmed.

Our civilian homefront is very strong. It is resilient, giving us support and breathing room. The people of the country understand what we are fighting for, and in this sense, the resilience of the homefront is a central component of this operation. Part of that resilience is confidence in you, knowing that we are doing everything—and that you are doing everything—to protect them.

I have full trust in you, I am confident in the IDF’s ability to complete this mission, and I want to thank you for all your efforts and the exceptional work you are doing. Keep it up.”

IDF: The IDF struck the Iranian regime’s leadership compound – the regime’s most central and significant headquarters

Overnight (Monday), the Israeli Air Force, acting on precise intelligence, struck and dismantled facilities within the leadership compound of the Iranian terrorist regime in the heart of Tehran.

During the strike on the compound, numerous munitions were dropped on the Presidential Office and the building of the Supreme National Security Council. In addition, the gathering site of the regime’s most senior forum responsible for security decision-making was targeted, as well as the institution for training Iranian military officers and additional key regime infrastructure.

The leadership compound of the Iranian regime is one of the most heavily secured assets in Iran and spans several streets in central Tehran. The regime’s leadership and senior security officials frequently convened at the compound, from which they conducted situational assessments regarding Iran’s nuclear program and advanced the plan for the destruction of the State of Israel.

The compound was used by the eliminated leader of the Iranian terrorist regime, Ali Khamenei, and housed infrastructure used to manage attacks against the State of Israel, as well as to direct and finance the regime’s terrorist proxies.

The compound was struck following a prolonged process of intelligence collection and analysis conducted by the IDF Intelligence Directorate.

This compound serves as the most central and significant headquarters of the Iranian terrorist regime. Its strike further degrades the functional continuity of the regime’s command and control systems.
