The Israeli military has said its fighter jets have struck “dozens” of targets across Iran, including a long-range missile site in Yazd in the centre of the country for the first time, AFP reports.

A statement said that “approximately 30 IAF (air force) fighter jets struck dozens of military targets throughout Iran”, including “the ‘Imam Hussein’ Strategic Missile Command Centre in the Yazd area, where long-range Khorramshahr missiles were stored”.

The statement also confirmed strikes on missile launchers in Bushehr province, where a “massive explosion” has been reported by Iranian media, as well as in Ahvaz in the southwest and central Isfahan.
