During the night, the Air Force launched two powerful waves of attacks in western and central Iran. In a wave of attacks last night in western Iran, a huge tunnel for storing ballistic missiles was attacked by 15 fighter jets and over 30 munitions. The site contained many components and launchers of the firing systems that are now trapped inside the tunnel. The site has been attacked several times in the past and the goal of the attack is to maintain and ensure that activity there does not recur.

Early this morning, another wave of attacks was carried out in Isfahan, in central Iran, with 50 fighter jets and over 130 pieces of munitions: surface-to-air missile batteries, tunnels, and ballistic missile sites were attacked. In addition, the Air Force once again attacked the nuclear site in Isfahan.

In recent days, after waves of intense attacks and rapid closures, over 50% of the launchers have been destroyed and many more are trapped in tunnels in the mountains. The Iranians are having difficulty launching scheduled barrages at the State of Israel from western Iran and are being pushed east. Tonight, the Air Force also attacked targets in the area in central Iran - from where most of the barrages have been launched in recent days.

During the night, an Iranian barrage of 4 missiles was launched, all of which were intercepted. In addition, several Iranian drones were intercepted.
