IAF fighter jets struck an underground missile storage facility in western Iran on Saturday morning, the IDF confirmed Saturday night. 

The jets struck the site, containing surface-to-surface missiles and cruise missiles, after receiving guidance from the Intelligence Directorate. 

The same site was where Tehran previously released in a propaganda video with the former chief of staff of the Iranian Armed Forces and the former commander of the IRGC Air Force.

Both officials were killed in an Israeli airstrike on Friday.

Operation Rising Lion

The attack came on the second day of Operation Rising Lion, seeking to eliminate Iran's nuclear and military threat to Israel.

Tehran, in response to Israeli strikes, also launched attacks on the Jewish state, killing three and wounding over 200 people.
