In a bold military move, Israel announced it had successfully targeted aging Iranian fighter jets, specifically F-5s, at Dezful airport. Footage released by Israel showed one of the aircraft being destroyed in the strike.
This marks a continuation of the volatile conflict between Israel and Iran, characterized by aerial skirmishes. In previous engagements, Israel has also targeted F-14 Tomcats, raising questions about Iran's aircraft operability due to long-standing parts shortages.
In retaliation, Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard launched 40 missiles, including the Khorramshahr-4, noted for its multi-warhead capabilities, during their Sunday morning offensive on Israel.
