We’ve Destroyed ‘One Third’ Of Iran Missile Sites – Israeli Army
By Anne Osemekeh, Abuja
Israel’s military has disclosed that it had destroyed one third of Iran’s surface-to-surface missile launchers.
This is even as strikes between the two arch foes raged on for a fourth day.
Israel military spokesman, Brigadier General Effie Defrin, said in a statement on Monday that since the start of Israeli operations against Iran on Friday, “more than 120 missile launchers — constituting one third of the Iranian regime’s total launchers — have been destroyed”.
Definitely stated that overnight, around 50 fighter jets and aircraft had “identified and struck missile storage sites and surface-to-surface missile launchers that were ready for launch toward the state of Israel”.
In one instance, more than 20 surface-to-surface missiles were destroyed as they were being prepared for launch in central Iran, where missile-launching infrastructure is focused, the military said.
During a recent press conference, Defrin also said that Israel now had “total air superiority in the skies over Tehran.”
Iran unleashed a missile barrage on Israeli cities Monday after Israeli strikes deep inside the Islamic republic.
The strikes on Iranian missile sites “helped reduce the number of missiles fired at Israel by half, limiting the barrage to fewer than 50 missiles,” an Israeli military official said on condition of anonymity.
