Three-hundred Iranian missile launchers have been dismantled since the start of “Operation Roaring Lion” on Feb. 28, the IDF revealed on Tuesday night.

“This is the result of more than 1,600 sorties and a systematic, around-the-clock effort to locate and target launchers and missile stockpiles in order to reduce fire toward the Israeli home front,” the military said.

Hundreds of fighter jets and aircraft struck hundreds of targets simultaneously in Lebanon and Iran over the previous 24 hours, according to the IDF’s statement, continuing successive waves of strikes against the Iranian regime’s ballistic-missile arrays and air-defense systems.
