Israel has Iran's military leadership on the run, military official says
JERUSALEM, June 17 (Reuters) - Israel struck dozens of targets linked to Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programmes overnight and has got Iran's military leadership "on the run", an Israeli military official said on Tuesday.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the Israeli airforce had not targeted Iran's underground Fordow nuclear facility, but said that still might happen.
He added that Israel was taking precautions to avoid triggering a nuclear disaster.
The official said Iran has so far launched around 400 ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones at Israel, targeting both civilian and military sites. He said an overnight fall-off in the number of missiles fired showed that Israel had succeeded in damaging Iran's ability to launch missiles.
