Iran has so far fired 200 missiles in four waves and launched more than 200 drones at Israeli territory, while Israel has responded with more than 150 attacks on Iranian territory, an Israeli military official said in an online meeting with international media.
The source emphasized that the path to Tehran is open and that the Israeli fighter jets deployed in this air offensive have a safe route to operate in its airspace.
The air route to Tehran is practically clear. This doesn't mean there are no threats (…) or that it's easy, but the path to Tehran is clear, something we couldn't have said months ago, he said.
The officer confirmed that Israel is currently attacking Iran and that it has attacked Tehran in recent hours. He explained that the Army will report this as it does every time it completes its attack on a specific group of targets.
This morning, the Israeli Air Force reported that they had located drones launched by Iran, and dozens of them have been intercepted in the last day, both by the Israeli Air Force and Navy.
So far, no Israeli fighter jets have been shot down, and no pilots have been captured. Our operations in Iran have been successful, but there are still pilots and aircraft operating 1,500 kilometers from Israel, he explained.
The official noted that three civilians were killed in Israel and dozens were injured by Iranian attacks, saying that no air defense system is perfect, and if 80% to 90% of the missiles are shot down, that means some of them fall to the ground.
Regarding the two nuclear infrastructure sites attacked by Israel in Iran, Natanz and Isfahan, he stated that all indications are that significant damage has been caused to Iran's nuclear roadmap.
