The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday, April 4, that the Israeli Air Force destroyed a mobile ballistic missile launcher in the Tabriz region of Iran during an operation that, according to the military, prevented further launches from the western part of the country.
The statement was accompanied by the release of footage of the strike.
According to the IDF, the target was a truck used as a mobile launch platform for ballistic missiles. The operation, according to the Israeli account, is part of the ongoing campaign against what it calls Iranian “fire arrays,” with the aim of reducing the missile threat against civilians in Israel.

In recent updates, the Israeli military has maintained that it has expanded attacks against launchers, storage sites and other structures linked to Iran’s ballistic arsenal. On April 2, the IDF said it had carried out more than 20 airstrikes in central and western Iran, hitting dozens of missile launch and storage positions with more than 140 munitions.
The offensive comes in the context of Israel’s operation against Iranian military capabilities, with a special focus on mobile launch systems, which are considered high-value targets because of their ability to disperse quickly and be deployed rapidly. Reuters reported last month that Israel said it had already struck hundreds of above-ground launchers used to threaten Israeli cities.
So far, there has been no independent disclosure with additional details about collateral damage or possible casualties in the operation in the Tabriz region. The information currently available publicly comes primarily from Israeli military statements and the initial coverage in the local press.
