IDF says it completed strike on Iranian air defense systems in western Iran


The Israeli military said on Friday that it had carried out a large-scale strike against Iran’s air defense infrastructure in the country’s west.
In a post on X, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said its fighter jets, guided by intelligence from the military’s Intelligence Branch, “completed an extensive attack against the Iranian regime's air defense system in western Iran.”
The IDF said “dozens of radars and surface-to-air missile launchers” were destroyed in the operation, which it described as part of a broader effort during the ongoing conflict to degrade Iranian and allied air defense capabilities in the region.
“These strikes improve the Air Force's freedom of aerial action,” the IDF added.
