JERUSALEM, March 14 (Xinhua) -- Israel said on Saturday its air force had struck more than 200 infrastructure sites across western and central Iran in the past day, as a joint U.S.-Israeli campaign against the country entered its third week.
The Israeli military said the strikes targeted dozens of ballistic missile launchers, including some loaded and ready to fire, as well as air defense systems, launch pads and weapons storage facilities.
Israel's air force has carried out around 400 sorties over western and central Iran since the campaign began on Feb. 28, the military said, describing the operation as focused on dismantling infrastructure and eliminating personnel linked to missile, defense and production units.
Two senior Iranian intelligence officers were killed in a precision strike in Tehran on Friday, the Israeli military said, identifying them as Abdollah Jalali-Nasab and Amir Shariat, both members of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Emergency Command. Iran did not immediately respond to the claim.
More than 1,300 people have been killed in Israeli and American strikes, Iranian officials said. ■
