Israel's military on Friday said it destroyed dozens of radars and surface-to-air missile launchers in western Iran in a wave of air strikes.
"In recent hours, Air Force fighter jets, guided by precise intelligence from the Intelligence Directorate, completed an extensive strike against the Iranian regime's air defense system in western Iran," a military statement said.
"As part of the strikes, dozens of radars and surface-to-air missile launchers were destroyed."
Over the past year, Israel has been targeting Iran’s air defenses, hitting a radar system for a Russian-made air defense battery in April 2024 and surface-to-air missile sites and missile manufacturing facilities in October.
Some 200 Israeli aircraft took part in Friday's operation, hitting about 100 targets, including the country's nuclear program, Israeli army chief spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said.
