News Update

In response to continued Iranian missile attacks against civilian targets, Defense Minister Katz said that, “IDF strikes in Iran will step up a level and expand to additional targets and areas that assist the regime in building and operating the weapons used against Israeli civilians.” Ori Peretz, a 43 year old civilian, was killed on an attack in the northern city of Nahariya yesterday. Several others were wounded, none seriously.

The air force struck Iran’s main site for producing missiles and naval mines in the city of Yazd. The military said the site was used to plan, develop, assemble and store advanced missiles intended for launch from cruise vessels, submarines and helicopters against maritime targets. The air force also carried out strikes overnight on ballistic missile production sites and air defense systems across Iran, including launchers and storage sites. A broad range of targets were also hit in Tehran.

[Despite the continuous, round the clock, strikes against Iranian targets, much more work is left to be done to cripple Iran’s offensive capabilities and prevent them from rebuilding. Perhaps that’s why President Trump extended the ceasefire negotiation deadline another 10 days? ]
