Last night, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) destroyed 20 missiles on the ground before they could be launched
The IDF’s Chief Spokesperson, Brigadier General Effie Defrin, announced on Monday that the Israeli air force had destroyed a third of Iran’s ballistic missile launchers, totaling 120 launchers.
Each of these launchers could fire dozens of missiles during the current conflict.
According to Defrin, Iran managed to fire only about half of the missiles it intended to launch last night.
Reducing Iran’s Strike Capability
As a result, for the remainder of the war, Iran’s ability to launch multiple missiles at once will be reduced by at least a third, if not more, since its firing capacity was cut in half in the night attack.
Defrin also reported that the air force destroyed 20 ballistic missiles that were about to be launched that same night.
This means that of the 40 missiles fired by Iran, at least 60 would have been launched if not for Israel’s action, not counting the missiles that Iran lost due to the destruction of the launchers.
In addition, the spokesman said that the air force sent 50 aircraft, which attacked about 100 targets in the last 24 hours.
