The Israeli Defense Forces continued strikes on ballistic missile and unmanned aerial vehicle infrastructure belonging to the Iranian regime in western and central Iran. Acting on precise, real-time intelligence, an Israeli Air Force aircraft identified a launch cell operating from a hangar at an unmanned aerial vehicle launch site in western Iran and struck the structure.

After the initial strike, the aircraft tracked the operatives as they fled the hangar and carried out additional strikes within seconds, killing the launch cell members. The military said the operation was enabled by its aerial superiority in the region, achieved through prior strikes on hundreds of air defense systems, ballistic missile launchers, and other military infrastructure since the start of the campaign.
