00:15The Israel Defense Forces, or IDF, has released new footage allegedly showing Israeli airstrikes
00:23destroying multiple Iranian ballistic missile launchers just moments before they were set to fire toward Israel.
00:32According to the IDF, the operation was carried out by the Israeli Air Force
00:37during the night of March 4th and 5th, targeting missile launch sites in western Iran.
00:44The military says six mobile ballistic missile launchers were destroyed
00:49minutes before they were scheduled to launch missiles at Israeli territory.
00:54The launchers, known as transporter-erector launchers, were purportedly armed with medium-range ballistic missiles
01:02capable of striking major Israeli cities.
01:05In a statement, the IDF said the operation unfolded over several hours
01:11and involved multiple waves of precision airstrikes aimed at crippling Iran's missile-firing capabilities.
01:19During the same operation, Israeli forces also targeted and destroyed three advanced Iranian air defense systems.
01:29Officials described the strikes as part of a broader campaign designed to weaken Iran's ability to launch missiles toward Israel.
01:38Footage released by the IDF appears to show infrared targeting images captured by Israeli aircraft.
01:45In the video, crosshairs lock on to Iranian military vehicles positioned in remote terrain before explosions engulf the launchers in
01:56massive fireballs.
01:58Secondary detonations seen in the footage suggest the missiles were already loaded and prepared for launch.
02:05Israeli military officials say the strikes were part of a wider offensive campaign aimed at dismantling Iran's missile infrastructure.
02:15IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir stated that Israeli forces have already destroyed around 60 percent of Iran's missile launchers
02:25since the conflict escalated.
02:28Reports indicate that more than 60 separate strikes were conducted across western Iran targeting missile launchers, air defense batteries, unmanned
02:38aerial vehicles, and other military infrastructure.
02:41The operation comes amid rapidly escalating hostilities between Israel and Iran that have intensified since late February 2026.
02:53Iran has launched multiple waves of ballistic missiles toward Israel in recent days, forcing millions of civilians into bomb shelters
03:02across cities including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
03:06Iranian state media has also released videos showing missile launches, including the Horem Shar-4 missile, while warning of further
03:16retaliation against Israeli and U.S. targets.
03:20In response, Israel has carried out large-scale airstrikes under an operation known as Operation Roaring Lion targeting hundreds of
03:30sites across Iran, including facilities linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
03:37Israeli officials claim the broader campaign has included thousands of precision strikes against missile launchers, air defense systems, and military
03:47command centers.
03:48Israeli officials claim the broader campaign, including Israel's missile launchers.
03:49Meanwhile, the conflict has also spread beyond Iran and Israel.
03:54The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah has fired rockets into northern Israel, prompting Israeli retaliatory strikes in Lebanon.
04:03Despite the heavy exchanges, independent verification of casualties and damage on both sides remains limited.
04:11Analysts warn that the ongoing missile exchanges and cross-border strikes could push the region closer to a wider war,
04:19with concerns growing about potential strikes on nuclear facilities or deeper military involvement from international powers.
