Iran is attempting a new strategy of trying to maneuver its ballistic missile concentrations away from the locations where Israel has gotten used to them being based.

The Israeli Air Force on Monday targeted several trucks carrying weapons, including trucks transporting surface-to-air missile launchers, moving from western Iran toward Tehran in an attempt to evade IDF strikes.
The IDF said that the air force's success in destroying dozens of missile launchers and many missiles has reduced the pace of Iranian missiles launched from launching hundreds at a time to dozens at a time.
Earlier on Monday, the military provided its first statistics of the war on its shoot down success against Iran's ballistic missiles, setting it at 80-90%, with only about 5-10% of ballistic missiles hitting actual residential areas.
The military said that it is constantly adjusting strategies and learning how the Iranians conduct their missile fire, with the Iranians also making adjustments to try to outplay Israel's defenses.
IDF move to cut off missile supply is crucial to war efforts
The crucial move by the IDF cuts off a new attempted Iranian strategy of trying to maneuver its ballistic missile concentrations away from the locations where Israel has gotten used to them being based.If Iran could succeed in outwitting Israeli surveillance and hiding the missiles in other parts of the country, it could retain the capability to fire on Israel for much longer.
By immediately cutting off Iran's attempt to move the weapons, Israel also conveys to Tehran that moving weaponry is as much of a losing option as keeping them in place.
