IDF strikes mobile ballistic missile launcher in Tabriz — thwarts planned attack on Israel

The IDF published colour footage on Saturday April 4 of a precision airstrike against a truck-mounted mobile ballistic missile launcher in Tabriz, East Azerbaijan Province in northwestern Iran. The IDF stated the strike 'thwarted planned missile fire on Israel.' Mobile launchers are a priority target for the IDF due to their ability to reposition and evade pre-emptive strikes. The Tabriz strike demonstrates the IDF's continued intelligence-driven campaign to suppress Iranian ballistic missile launch capacity, specifically targeting mobile systems that are harder to track and destroy through fixed-site targeting. The IDF also stated the air force 'continues to strike without pause' at Iranian firing systems to reduce the volume of fire toward Israeli civilians.
