Israel says 100 targets hit in central Iran, a third of missile launchers dismantled

Israel's military said that it had struck around 100 military targets in central Iran on Sunday, including dismantling more than 20 surface-to-surface missiles minutes before their planned launch toward Israeli territory.

According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), roughly 50 fighter jets and aircraft participated in the operation, focusing on missile storage facilities and launchers in and around the city of Isfahan.

“With this, we can now say that one-third of the Iranian regime’s missile launchers have been dismantled,” the IDF said in a statement posted on X.

The announcement comes after Iranian state media reported that air defense systems engaged and destroyed incoming projectiles near the Natanz nuclear facility overnight.
