(The Washington Times) — The Israeli Air Force on Sunday knocked out several missile launchers that were preparing to fire a barrage the day after American bombers destroyed multiple nuclear sites in Iran.
The IAF jet fighters also struck warehouses in central Iran containing long-range surface-to-air Khorramshahr missiles, Israeli officials said on their Telegram social media page.
The Iranian missile storage facility was more than 1,300 miles from Israel — the furthest target the IAF has struck to date, officials said.
“We destroyed Khorramshahr missiles before they were launched at Israel and struck tunnels used to store the missiles,” Maj. Gen. Tomar Bar, commander of the Israeli Air Force, said Sunday on the Israel Defense Forces Telegram page.
“We are continuing waves of strikes across Iran, disrupting the enemy’s ability to launch salvos into Israeli territory, degrading their firepower capabilities, and operating decisively to defend the Israeli home front and reduce rocket fire,” Gen. Bar said.
Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, chief of the General Staff, was in the IDF command situation room during the U.S. mission to destroy the Iranian nuclear sites.
Gen. Zamir “emphasized the importance of the strategic relationship and coordination between the IDF and the U.S. military,” the IDF said on Telegram. “The IDF will continue operations until the objectives of the operation are achieved.”
