We’re getting an update from the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) chief spokesperson, Effie Defrin, who says, “even at this hour, the Air Force pilots continue to attack and carry out extensive strikes in various areas of Iran”.
“A series of attacks that has not stopped for nearly 40 hours and includes more than 150 targets. The focus of the attacks in the past 24 hours, Tehran,” he adds.
In a televised briefing, Defrin says Israel targeted an underground site in western Iran “used for storing and launching surface-to-surface missiles and cruise missiles”.
“This site was attacked and the senior figures who visited it in the past were also eliminated,” he says.
Defrin adds that the missiles stored there were supposed to be launched “against Israeli citizens or even against forces of other Western countries in the Middle East”.
