IDF tracks Iran’s hidden missile launchers amid tunnel networks

Israel’s campaign against the IRGC’s missile program, part of Operation Roaring Lion, is shrinking Iran’s launcher fleet: about 470 launchers exist, but fewer than 180 remain operational as many are damaged or sealed in tunnel systems. The IAF uses a precision “needle threading” approach to target buried sites, with U.S. support to compensate for weather and airpower limits. Iran’s ability to launch large numbers has eroded, while launch crews show reluctance; Tehran and Hezbollah are pressing for ceasefire talks. Israel also monitors crater sites to prevent rebuilding and counters Lebanon-based launches that accompany the pressure campaign.

IDF launches 400th strike wave in Iran amid Roaring Lion campaign

Israel's Air Force says it completed its 400th wave of strikes in Iran as part of Operation Roaring Lion, targeting Iran's fire-control, defense, and missile capabilities, including a space-research center and an air-defence production facility; over 200 regime sites were hit in the past day. Defense Minister Katz calls the campaign a decisive stretch as evacuation orders were issued near Tabriz and strikes continued across western and central Iran.

Roaring Lion: IAF’s relentless multi-wave blitz reshapes the Iran front

Israel’s air force is conducting a high-intensity, multi-wave campaign against Iran in Operation Roaring Lion, flying three missions per day with stimulant-assisted endurance and strong American refueling and airpower support. By midweek the IAF had dropped about 5,000 munitions in four days—far faster than in the prior operation—while ground crews, including women, helped minimize turnaround times. The goal is to reduce Iran’s launch capability to manageable levels and to demonstrate unprecedented Israeli-American air collaboration, all while acknowledging Iran’s determination and reserves.
