Defense Minister Israel Katz said Saturday morning that Israel was “entering the decisive stretch” in its campaign in Iran.<\/p>\n
The IDF destroyed an Iranian regime site used for space research, along with a central air defense production plant on Friday night, the military said on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The latest wave of strikes was part of an ongoing effort to deepen damage to the Iranian regime\u2019s core military systems and capabilities, according to the IDF.<\/p>\n
Acting on IDF intelligence, the Israel Air Force<\/a> (IAF) struck dozens of regime-linked sites across Tehran, including the regime’s main space research center.<\/p>\n The IDF described the center as housing strategic laboratories used for the research and development of military satellites intended for “surveillance<\/a>, intelligence collection, and directing fire toward targets across the Middle East.”<\/p>\n Israeli jets also targeted several sites used to manufacture air defense systems, the IDF said, including what it called a central production facility. “The strike significantly degrades the Iranian terror regime’s ability to rehabilitate its aerial defense array,” the military stated.<\/p>\n
