Israel says it completed fresh wave of strikes on Iran
Tel Aviv/Tehran: Israel’s Air Force has said it carried out another wave of strikes targeting ballistic missile arrays and air defence systems in western and central Iran.
In a post on X, the Israeli Air Force said one of the sites hit was a missile launch facility in the central Qom region.
The military said the strikes in central Iran “thwarted dozens of launches” towards Israel and “deeply damaged the regime’s most central offensive capability”.
There was no immediate response from Iranian authorities on the claim. The latest development comes amid continuing military exchanges between the two sides.
