He adds that the IAF has destroyed a third of Iran’s ballistic missile launchers and is managing to disrupt “extensive parts” of its attacks on Israel.
According to Defrin, 65 ballistic missiles and dozens of drones were launched at Israel in two barrages Sunday night and Monday morning, most of which were intercepted, though three impacts killed eight people.
However, Iran wanted to launch at least twice as many missiles at Israel overnight, he says.
Overnight, 20 ballistic missiles were simultaneously targeted by the Israeli Air Force in Iran before they could be launched, he says.
The IDF says that some 50 fighter jets and drones also identified and struck missile storage sites, and command centers where Iranian soldiers were gathered to launch the missiles.
Since the start of the conflict, the IDF says, it has destroyed over 120 Iranian ballistic missile launchers, which it says is a third of what Iran had.
Additionally, the military says the IAF conducted waves of strikes in Isfahan overnight, hitting over 100 military targets
