Air defence infrastructure was priority in Iran strikes, Israeli media reports
Israel did not target Iran’s ballistic missile launch sites during its latest strikes because such operations would have required different preparations, according to an Israeli military source cited by the newspaper Maariv.
The source said the attacks were intended to demonstrate Israel’s determination to prevent Iran from rebuilding its air defence network.
The official also downplayed the scale of Iran’s recent missile launches, saying Tehran fired about 20 missiles in 10 separate barrages after what the source described as 50 days of military rehabilitation, characterising the number as relatively limited.
