Israel army says hit key ballistic missile unit in Iran
Jerusalem, March 29 (AFP) Mar 29, 2026
The Israeli military said on Sunday that overnight it had attacked a key production facility in Tehran used by Iran's defence ministry to manufacture components for ballistic missiles.

"The site is one of only two of its kind in Iran where critical components were developed for the assembly and operationalisation of missiles set to launch toward the state of Israel," the military said.

The strikes also targeted facilities linked to ballistic missile engines, drone manufacturing, air defence systems and missile storage.

Since the US-Israel war on Iran began on February 28, Israel has attacked several weapons production facilities in the Islamic republic, as well as nuclear sites.
