The Israel Defense Forces released a video on Tuesday showing the Israeli Air Force destroying “the Iranian regime’s missile launchers, defense systems and live-fire arrays.”
The IDF said more than 60 strikes were carried out in waves in western Iran recently, hitting targets including vehicles carrying ballistic missiles, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and loaded missile launchers.
The development came as Iran “once again” fired cluster munition missiles toward Israeli civilians in central Israel on Tuesday, according to Lt. Nadav Shoshani, the IDF’s international spokesman.
“The Iranian regime’s war crimes continue,” he wrote on Twitter.

Shoshani also said in a video that, “Our forces, along with the US armed forces, continue to degrade the military capabilities of the Iranian regime.”
He added, “Yesterday, Iran’s main terrorist proxy, Hezbollah, launched dozens of rockets and UAVs from southern Lebanon at Israeli civilians in northern Israel.” “Our forces are prepared and highly prepared to strengthen and protect all borders as part of this operation.”

“We are preparing for the possibility of Hezbollah expanding its attacks against Israeli civilians,” Shoshani warned. “This includes strengthening air defense systems and troop presence.”
Shoshani said, “Overnight, IDF troops were deployed to several points near the border area in southern Lebanon as part of a forward defense posture. Let me be clear: This is not a ground maneuver in Lebanon. This is a tactical move to create an additional layer of protection for residents of northern Israel.”

“Let me remind you, on October 8, the day after the October 7 massacre, Hezbollah took control of vantage points near the northern border and indiscriminately fired RPGs and missiles at Israeli civilians in the northern border. As a result, Israel had to evacuate about 60,000 civilians from their homes for several months. We will not let this happen again.” “Overnight, we carried out a series of preemptive strikes on Hezbollah military infrastructure throughout Lebanon to neutralize their continued firing toward our civilians.”
