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.

“Israel is a Jewish and democratic state that will not follow the path of terrorist organizations,” wrote Justice Dafna Barak-Erez.

“Israel is here together with the Jewish community to support it, think together and voice concerns vis-à-vis the government whenever it is appropriate,” said Israeli Ambassador Iddo Moed.
“According to our projections, by mid-June there will no longer be any evacuees staying in hotels,” an official said.
The legislation grants benefits to Israelis living in 58 towns on Israel’s “Eastern Confrontation Line.”
The premier said he expects law enforcement “to take a hard line against the rioters.”
