Summary

Israel has launched a new wave of intense airstrikes on Iran and Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. Israeli forces say they targeted key infrastructure linked to the Iranian government, including a missile launcher in Qom and an air defense system in Isfahan. The IDF is also heavily targeting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Basij militia, Iran's volunteer paramilitary force, who were both behind the violent, bloody crackdown on protesters in January. FOX’s Jonathan Savage speaks with Trey Yingst, chief foreign correspondent for the FOX News Channel, reporting from Tel Aviv, Israel, who says operations to destroy Iranian missile capabilities are a major focus now.
