Middle East Conflict | Israeli forces attack Iran's missile and mine production facilities

The conflict between Iran and Israel continues. The Israel Defense Forces announced on Friday that they targeted Iran’s main missile and naval mine production facilities located in Yazd, central Iran, with airstrikes, and also struck ballistic missile and air defense system production bases within Iran over the past night.

Israeli Defense Minister Katz stated during a situational assessment meeting with military commanders that due to the ongoing Iranian missile strikes targeting Israeli civilians, the IDF will escalate its strikes against Iran, expanding the scope to include targets that assist the Iranian regime in manufacturing and utilizing weapons against Israeli civilians. Reports indicate that the IDF also conducted large-scale strikes against Iranian regime infrastructure in downtown Tehran early in the morning.

Israeli military officials stated that since the outbreak of this round of conflict, the IDF has fired or dropped approximately 15,000 missiles and bombs at Iran.

Iran retaliates with drones and missiles

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran announced the commencement of the fourth phase of Operation “Real Commitment-4,” launching its 84th offensive. The announcement stated that the IRGC Air Force, in coordination with the Navy, used solid and liquid fuel missiles and drones to strike at the U.S. military base located in Ha’il, Saudi Arabia, destroying enemy missile defense systems, and claimed that several enemy large refueling and support aircraft were completely destroyed or severely damaged, asserting that the area serves as a base for enemy aerial refueling and support forces.

Iranian state television reported that the Israeli military logistics base and transport center located in Tel Aviv were attacked by a swarm of Iranian drones, with the Iranian military claiming this is Israel’s largest transport center.
