JERUSALEM, June 17, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Israel's military said Tuesday it conducted "several extensive strikes" on military targets in western Iran overnight, as the arch-foes traded fire for a fifth straight day.

"During the strikes, dozens of surface-to-surface missile storage and launch infrastructure were struck," the military said in a statement.

"In addition, surface-to-air missile launchers and UAV storage sites were struck in western Iran," it added.

The statement included footage which the army said showed the moments surface-to-air and surface-to-surface missile launchers were hit.

One clip appeared to show a strike on a surface-to-air launcher holding three missiles.

Despite growing calls for the longtime foes to end hostilities, neither Israel nor Iran showed any signs of cutting short the missile blitz kicked off Friday, when Israel launched an unprecedented series of aerial raids targeting Iranian nuclear and military facilities.

After a new wave of Israeli strikes on Iran's capital -- including a dramatic attack on a state TV building -- both countries activated their missile defence systems overnight, with Israel's army briefly urging residents to seek shelter from incoming Iranian missiles.
