The Israeli Air Force, over the past 48 hours, dropped some 650 munitions on about 400 targets linked to the Iranian regime, including sites in the heart of Tehran, the military said on Wednesday night.
The IDF further degraded the regime’s capabilities, striking approximately 15 weapons manufacturing sites, including a central complex of the Iranian Ministry of Defense that housed a production and development facility intended for missiles to be launched at aircraft.
In parallel, the IDF struck air defense systems, launch sites, and facilities for the production and storage of ballistic missiles.
On Wednesday, the IAF hit a base belonging to the Ground Forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
In recent days, the military said it identified that the Iranian regime had begun relocating its command centers into mobile units, with commanders operating from within them, and targeted at least one such unit.
In addition, a ballistic missile storage site belonging to a missile unit in the Tabriz area was also struck, as part of ongoing efforts to degrade the regime’s capabilities.

“The completed strikes are part of the phase focused on deepening the damage to the core systems and foundations of the Iranian terror regime,” said the IDF.
Since the start of “Operation Roaring Lion” on Feb. 28, hundreds of Israeli Air Force combat aircraft have operated in Iranian airspace, attacking targets linked to the mullah regime.
IAF tanker aircraft have supported the missions, conducting approximately 2,000 aerial refuelings.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander Adm. Brad Cooper said on Thursday that the campaign was making “undeniable progress” following a month of sustained strikes on the Islamic Republic’s military assets.
“We don’t see their navy sailing. We don’t see their aircraft flying, and their air and missile defense systems have largely been destroyed,” he said.
