Jerusalem, 24 March, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Hunting down launchers, eliminating operatives and systematically striking production sites, the Israel Air Force carried out more than 600 assaults against the Iranian terrorist regime’s ballistic missile array since the start of the conflict on the morning of February 28.

Also, the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) reported that its Military Intelligence identified fear, absenteeism, and burnout among soldiers in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards’ ballistic missile division.

The IDF also asserted that the unit’s operatives are afraid and refuse to go to the launch sites following the Israel Air Force’s “systematic crackdown,” and that Air Force aircraft continue to “operate constantly to identify and attack the launchers in real time, some of which are loaded and ready to launch.”

“The severe damage to the ballistic missile system constitutes a central component of the systematic effort to harm and undermine the Iranian terrorist regime,” it added.
