Israel's military releases video showing obliteration of Iran's missile launchers, defense systems
The Israel Defense Forces released a video Tuesday showing the Israeli Air Force destroying the "Iranian regime’s missile launchers, defense systems, and live-fire arrays."
The IDF said more than 60 strikes recently were carried out in waves across western Iran, hitting targets including vehicles carrying ballistic missiles, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and loaded missile launchers.
The development comes as Iran "once again" fired missiles containing cluster sub-munitions toward Israeli civilians on Tuesday in central Israel, according to IDF international spokesperson Lt. Nadav Shoshani.
"The Iranian regime’s war crimes continue," he wrote on X.

Shoshani also said in a video that, "Our forces, along with the U.S. armed forces, continue degrading the Iranian regime's military capabilities."
"Yesterday, Iran’s main terrorist proxy, Hezbollah, launched dozens of rockets and UAVs from southern Lebanon at Israeli civilians in northern Israel," he continued. "Our forces have been prepared to strengthen and protect all borders as part of this operation and are more than ready."
"We are preparing for the possibility of Hezbollah expanding their attacks against Israeli civilians," Shoshani warned. "This includes reinforcing aerial defense systems and troops presence."
"Overnight, IDF troops were positioned in southern Lebanon at several points near the border area as part of an enhanced forward defense posture. Let me be clear: this is not a ground maneuver into Lebanon. It is a tactical step to create an additional level of security for the residents of northern Israel," Shoshani added.
"Let me remind you, on Oct. 8th, the day after the Oct. 7 massacre, Hezbollah took control of vantage points near the northern border and fired RPGs and missiles indiscriminately towards Israeli civilians in the northern border. As a result, Israel had to evacuate around 60,000 civilians from their homes for many months. We will not let that happen again," he said. "Overnight, we carried out a series of preventative strikes on Hezbollah military infrastructure across Lebanon in order to neutralize the continuous fire towards our civilians."
