💥 ISRAELI AIR FORCE STRIKES BALLISTIC MISSILE INFRASTRUCTURE AND ELIMINATES IRANIAN INTELLIGENCE MINISTER WHILE DEGRADING AIR DEFENSE AND LAUNCH CAPABILITIES ACROSS IRAN🕑 March 19, 2026 | 6:00 PM🎦 IAF releases operational footage from strikes across Iran: The material shows Israeli Air Force activity during Operation Roaring Lion, including strikes on an underground launch and storage facility used for preparations to fire ballistic missiles at Israel, strikes on ballistic missile launchers in Iran, and a Basij headquarters before and after it was struck.🎯 Large-scale strike campaign targets Iranian regime infrastructure: The Israeli Air Force has dropped more than 12,000 bombs in over 8,500 separate strikes on Iranian regime targets since the start of the war, according to the military. Of those munitions, 3,600 were used in strikes in Tehran alone.🎯 Sustained air operations rely on new long-duration tactics: IAF fighter jets have carried out 5,700 separate sorties, including more than 540 to central and western Iran and 50 deeper into the east of the country. Military officials say the Air Force is conducting constant air operations over Iran to thwart ballistic missile fire on Israel using new methods that allow longer missions without refueling.🎯 “Metro sorties” enable rapid strikes based on real-time intelligence: Under this formation, drones and fighter jets loiter before striking ballistic missile launchers, Iranian soldiers, and other targets identified in real time. Officials say this method allowed aircraft to be dispatched quickly when new targets were identified, including in the elimination of Iran’s intelligence minister, Esmaeil Khatib, in Tehran yesterday.🎯 Air superiority supports broad degradation of Iranian air defenses: The military assesses that its strikes have destroyed around 85% of Iran’s air defense and detection systems. According to the IDF, more than 300 targets tied to Iran’s air defenses, including missile launchers and radars, have been struck.🎯 Advanced, older, and decentralized systems have all been heavily hit: The IAF assesses that 92% of Iran’s advanced air defense systems have been destroyed, with only a handful remaining, including some that are hidden and not in use. The IDF also says it has destroyed around 80% of Iran’s older air defense systems, 80% of its radars, and 75% of its decentralized systems that link missile launchers to optical tracking tools.🎯 Ballistic missile launcher network has been significantly reduced: The IDF says it has destroyed or disabled around 60% of Iran’s estimated 470 ballistic missile launchers. Around 200 were destroyed in strikes, while another 80 are considered non-operational after tunnel entrances to subterranean storage facilities were struck.🎯 IAF continues to pursue remaining launchers as missile fire slows: The Air Force says it is still hunting the roughly 200 launchers believed to remain. The military assesses that Iran still has hundreds of ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel and has launched more than 350 so far, with the pace slowing over the past week to 10 to 20 missiles a day, usually in salvos of one or two at a time.💬 Join the discussion and follow: https://www.israelrealtime.com/p/israeli-air-force-strikes-ballistic?r=7h70m8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web⏱️ If this update was helpful, please forward it to someone who relies on real-time information from Israel.👉 WhatsApp — Realtime Updates:http://tinyurl.com/IRWAC🌐 Read on web & subscribe by email: https://www.israelrealtime.com/archive☕ Support independent reporting: https://www.israelrealtime.com/p/donatenever again🇧🇷 https://www12.senado.leg.br/ecidadania/visualizacaoideia?id=183982&voto=favor Shabat shalom/Chaverim, it is of the utmost importance that we read and sign the legislative proposal above, which still has limited support, but which will greatly facilitate the lives of Jews in Brazil!
