The IDF said that over 200 Israeli Air Force aircraft had struck 500 Iranian targets on Saturday night, in the largest aerial attack ever conducted by Israeli forces.
An IDF video showed two major initial waves of attacks.
The first wave struck what appeared to be dozens of radars and anti aircraft defenses, especially in the part of Iran closer to Israel and the Tehran area.
During the second wave, the Air Force struck Iran's ballistic missile apparatus to attempt to reduce its ability to strike the Israeli home front.
In the Tabriz area, the IDF struck a major site from which the Islamic Republic has fired dozens of ballistic missiles at Israel.
The IDF is also working to establish stand in air supremacy which it achieved in June 2025 to be able to keep drones and other aircraft hovering in areas from which Tehran might try to fire on Israel in order to blow up the missile teams before they can fire.
Israel conducts additional strikes on Iranian ballistic missile capabilities
The IDF also announced that it had conducted an additional round of strikes, targeting more of Iran's ballistic missile capabilities as well as its aerial defense systems.
One of the targets struck, the IDF said, was a missile launch site containing hundreds of kilograms of explosives. The site was in the Qom area of central Iran, and its destruction "thwarted dozens of launches toward the territory of the State of Israel."
