Israeli Air Force fighter pilots struck an Iranian missile command center located at a distance of 1,370 miles (2,200 kilometers) from Israel early Sunday — the farthest distance yet struck by the IAF.
The warplanes destroyed the Khorramshahr long-range missile command site just before missiles were to be launched at Israel.
Under the guidance of the IDF Intelligence Directorate, approximately 30 IAF fighter jets struck dozens of military targets throughout Iran, with more than 60 munitions.
As part of the strikes, IAF fighter jets struck the “Imam Hussein” Strategic Missile Command Center in the Yazd area, where long-range Khorramshahr missiles were stored.
At least 60 missiles have been launched from this command center toward the State of Israel, according to the IDF.
“In broad daylight, we surprised the Imam Hussein missile headquarters in central Iran, the furthest target we’ve struck to date,” IAF chief Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar said Sunday in a statement. “We destroyed Khorramshahr missiles before they were launched at Israel and struck tunnels used to store the missiles.”
“We are continuing waves of strikes across Iran, disrupting the enemy’s ability to launch salvos into Israeli territory, degrading their firepower capabilities, and operating decisively to defend the Israeli home front and reduce rocket fire,” Bar added.
In parallel to the strike on the Khorramshahr missile command center, missile launchers were struck in Isfahan, Bushehr, and Ahvaz.
Strikes were also conducted on military sites involved in the production of aerial defense batteries, the ‘Third Brigade’ UAV command center, and a UAV storage facility near the command center.
During the strikes, an IAF aircraft identified Iranian Armed Forces soldiers loading missile launchers and eliminated them as well.
The IDF will continue to reach and strike in any area within Iranian territory to eliminate threats posed to the State of Israel.
