20 Combat Sorties: How Israel Systematicallly Wiped Out Iranian Missile Hubs | WATCH
Israeli fighter jets have completed a massive wave of strikes against missile launch and storage sites in western Iran, neutralizing dozens of strategic targets.
The Israeli Air Force has significantly expanded its footprint in the current war, conducting approximately 20 separate combat sorties against high-value military installations in western Iran. Guided by precise intelligence from the Military Intelligence Directorate, Israeli pilots dropped roughly 70 munitions on a variety of targets, primarily focusing on sites used for the storage and launching of ballistic missiles. The operation, which centered on the Kermanshah and Dezful regions, was aimed at neutralizing the regime's ability to launch retaliatory strikes against the Israeli home front or commercial shipping lanes.
Crushing the Western Infrastructure
The strikes were highly surgical, targeting not only the physical infrastructure but also the specialized personnel required to operate these advanced weapons systems. In addition to destroying the launch pads and storage bunkers, the IDF confirmed that several Iranian soldiers operating at these sites were killed during the attacks. These sites also housed sophisticated air defense systems, which were prioritized for destruction to ensure continued aerial freedom for the IAF. By hitting these western hubs, Israel has effectively created a "buffer of fire" that complicates the regime's logistics and reduces the threat of short-notice missile barrages.
The IDF noted that the facilities in Kermanshah and Dezful were critical components of the regime's "terror export" business, serving as transit and testing points for hardware intended for regional proxies. The destruction of these sites further degrades the "axis of terror" and forces the Iranian leadership to divert dwindling resources to protect their own borders. Military officials have vowed to continue these waves of strikes as long as the regime continues to support aggression against Israel. This latest round of sorties demonstrates that no part of the Iranian military machine is beyond the reach of the Israeli Air Force, even deep within the western provinces.
