Israel’s Air Force says it is targeting military infrastructure this morning in Kermanshah in western Iran.
Overnight, 20 Israeli jets were in action, hitting missile storage and launch facilities as well as radar and satellite systems.
Israel has vowed to continue striking Iran to further limit its ballistic missile capability and last night’s raids are reported to be one of the most intense attacks of this conflict.
Iran appears to have fired just one missile towards Israel overnight – there was an air raid alert at around 03:00 local time (00:00 BST).
Israeli officials say it was shot down by an American air defence system, another symbol of US support and perhaps a sign of how stretched Israeli defences are.
A single Iranian drone was also downed this morning close to Eilat on Israel’s southern coast.
Iran’s so far limited response may show how depleted its missile capability is after ten days of Israeli strikes.
Or more likely, the Iranian leadership is marking time while considering its next move and how to deliver the retaliation it has promised in response to the US bombing.
