Israeli strikes targeted several S-300 defense systems near Tehran airport, IRGC bases, and secretive Parchin military bases paving the way for future attacks.
Israel also destroyed several air defence radar complex for S-400 surface-to-air missile.
One of the sites targeted in Israel’s overnight airstrikes was the S-300 air defense of Imam Khomeini International Airport near Tehran, according to two Iranian officials quoted by The New York Times.
Israel reportedly targeted a Russian-made S-300 air defense system near Iran’s Natanz nuclear site in April.
At least three Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps missile bases were targeted in the strikes, according to the unnamed officials, one of whom is a member of the IRGC.
Israeli drones also targeted the secretive Parchin military base on the outskirts of Tehran in this morning’s strikes, the report adds, citing the officials as saying that one hit the site while others were downed.
In 2022, an engineer was killed and another employee injured in an apparent drone attack on the Parchin military complex.
The IDF releases a video and photos showing F-35, F-15 and F-16 fighter jets heading out to carry out last night’s strikes in Iran.
The images show some of the four female navigators in the Israeli Air Force squadrons who participated in the operation.
According to the military, dozens of Israeli Air Force aircraft, including fighter jets, refuelers, and spy planes, participated in the strikes some 1,600 kilometers from Israel.
The aircraft safely returned to Israel following the “complex” operation.
