With the world anxious about how long this war with Iran will continue, the IDF has confirmed plans for at least one to two more weeks of operations against the Islamic Republic. More than 5,000 bombs have been dropped since the war began on Saturday.
The Times of Israel reports that the IDF and IAF are prepared for additional weeks of operations. Thousands of Iranian military sites have already been struck, with thousands more still identified as potential targets.
“The Israeli Air Force continues to strike missile launch sites and missile launchers in order to remove the threat posed to the State of Israel,” the military added.
An “extensive” wave of Israeli airstrikes in central and western Iran destroyed dozens of Iranian ballistic missile launchers and air defense systems. According to the IDF, some of the missile launchers were armed for attacks on Israel, and they were struck while Iranian soldiers were operating them.
The IAF also destroyed Iranian air defense and detection systems at Mehrabad Airport in Tehran.
There have been at least 11 waves of strikes in Tehran since the start of the conflict, including at least two on Wednesday, the IDF said.
The Israeli military also reported that efforts against Iran are being divided with the United States. The IAF has focused on regime targets in western and central Iran, while American forces have operated in the south and against the Iranian Navy. These campaigns continue based on tactical advantages.
IDF officials have described the actions against Iran over the past five days as extraordinary and largely successful.
