The Israel Air Force targeted several trucks carrying weapons, including trucks transporting surface-to-air missile launchers, moving from western Iran toward Tehran in an attempt to evade IDF strikes, the military announced on Monday.

The weapons and missile launchers were destroyed in the strikes. 

The IDF said that it has shot down 80-90% of Iranian ballistic missiles fired at Israel, with only five to 10% of them hitting Israeli residential areas.

IDF reduces Iran's missile launching capabilities

The IDF said that the air force's success in destroying dozens of missile launchers and many missiles has reduced the pace of Iranian missiles launched from launching hundreds at a time to dozens at a time.

Iranian news outlet Nournews reported that the Islamic Republic's military claimed to have discovered an Israeli supply of anti-tank guided missiles within the country. 

This is a developing story.
