The IAF conducted a powerful series of airstrikes targeting Iran’s air defense systems in the western part of the country, the IDF announced. Described as an “extensive blow,” the operation destroyed dozens of radars and air defense missile launchers, significantly weakening Iran’s ability to counter aerial threats. The strikes were strategically designed to enhance the IAF’s operational freedom in Iranian airspace, paving the way for greater maneuverability in future missions.

El Al, Arkia, and Israir have begun moving their aircraft out of Israel following widespread Israeli airstrikes on Iran and fears of retaliation. A Ben Gurion Airport spokesperson confirmed the planes were flown without passengers, and the airport is now closed until further notice. Israir stated the relocation aligns with a contingency plan prepared in recent days. El Al said its planes are being sent “to our destinations,” while Arkia did not disclose its relocation sites.

Fresh insights have come to light about the extensive groundwork that paved the way for Israel’s military operation against Iran, dubbed Operation Rising Lion. Over several years, Israel’s military and intelligence agencies worked in close coordination, amassing detailed intelligence to enable a decisive preemptive strike. According to Israel Hayom, the preparation involved years of painstaking intelligence-gathering and surveillance focused on key figures in Iran’s security establishment and nuclear program, many of whom were later targeted. Simultaneously, Israel conducted a covert campaign to weaken Iran’s strategic missile capabilities, disrupting its ability to pose a significant threat.
