A strategic operation involving over 100 planes, including advanced F-35 aircraft, was launched by Israel against Iran. The initial strike targeted radar systems in Syria, aiming to disrupt Iran’s capabilities, leading to further attacks on Tehran and Karaj.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) focused solely on military targets to avoid escalating conflict, with heightened alertness for potential retaliation. The operation spanned 2,000 kilometers, with precise strikes on military sites using F-35 “Adir” stealth fighters.
With Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi overseeing the operation, Israel remains prepared for defensive and offensive actions. The US supported Israel’s strikes, citing self-defense rights.
