The Israel Defense Force has announced the completion of a series of strikes today against military infrastructure in Southwestern Iran. Earlier today, approximately 30 fighter jets of the Israeli Air Force, with roughly 50 precision-munitions and gathered info from the Intelligence Directorate, struck dozens of military targets in and around the city of Ahvaz in the Khuzestan Province of Southwestern Iran. Targets struck include a site where missile launchers were stored, some of which had launched ballistic missiles in the past toward the State of Israel, radar detection sites used for detection and aerial intelligence gathering, and the Al-Hadid Military Base.

Correction: According to flight tracking as well as apparent statements from officials, the B-2As, which consist of at least six bombers, are flying to Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, not Diego Garcia like initially believed. This would place the bombers over 5,000 miles from Iran, though aerial-refueling would still allow the bombers to reach Iran in roughly 18+ hours, depending on route taken.

A Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedic said from the impact site in Beersheba:

"We quickly arrived at the scene with large forces of intensive care vehicles, ambulances and motorcycles and saw thick smoke and cars on fire, and in one of the buildings there was visible destruction, and damage to other apartments. We have set up two points to treat the injured and are conducting medical examinations for residents who are leaving the buildings. At the same time, together with forces of the Homefront Command, the fire department and the police, we are conducting scans of the building with the destruction and the other apartments that were damaged to ensure that no one is injured in the apartments.”
