Israeli military says about 200 jets hit nearly 500 targets across Iran

About 200 Israeli fighter jets carried out the largest strike mission in the history of Israel’s air force, hitting missile and air-defense systems in western and central Iran, Israel’s military spokesperson said on Saturday.

The spokesperson said the operation, directed by military intelligence and the air force, involved hundreds of munitions dropped on nearly 500 targets, including air-defense batteries and missile launchers.

He said the attacks were intended to expand Israel’s air superiority over Iran and damage key offensive capability, including launch sites in western Iran.

The spokesperson said one of the sites struck was in the Tabriz area and was used by a surface-to-surface missile unit that planned to fire dozens of missiles toward Israel.
