The IDF announced on Friday that it had struck an Iranian missile crew in the process or preparing to launch missiles at Israel in strikes conducted overnight.

Israeli Air Force jets located and struck three surface-to-surface missile launchers being prepped for use against Israel.

The IDF said the launchers were expected to be used in the multiple missile barrages fired at Israel throughout Friday.

At the same time, IDF drones identified a group of Iranian soldiers, including an IRGC commander responsible for at least 15 missile launchers, preparing to launch more missiles.

The IAF targeted and destroyed the group, killing the commander.
