Israel Says It Has Disabled Over One-Third of Iran’s Missile Launchers

Israeli Forces Target Iranian Missile Infrastructure

In a significant military development, an Israeli army spokesperson announced Monday that over one-third of Iran’s surface-to-surface missile launchers have been disabled in ongoing military operations. The announcement comes amid intensifying hostilities between Israel and Iran, with missile exchanges escalating over the weekend.

Civilian Areas Not Targeted, Says Israeli Defense Minister

In a separate statement, Israel's Defense Minister sought to reassure the international community by stating,

"There is no intention to physically harm the residents of Tehran."

This clarification follows concerns about the humanitarian fallout from continued strikes near populated areas in Iran. Despite aggressive military targeting, Israel claims it is focused strictly on strategic infrastructure.

Geopolitical Implications

The conflict continues to disrupt regional stability and weighs heavily on global markets, especially oil and defense sectors. Military analysts suggest that the disabling of missile launchers could signal a shift in Israel’s strategic objectives, possibly aiming to neutralize Iran’s retaliatory capacity.
