The Israeli Defense Force (IDF), on Monday, launched a coordinated assault on six Iranian military airports, destroying 15 fighter jets and attack helicopters.
The targeted airports are located in western, eastern, and central Iran, specifically in Tabriz, Tehran-Mehrabad, Mashhad, Hamedan, Dezful, and Shahid Bakhtiari.
The primary goal of the operation was to impair Iran’s ability to challenge Israeli aircraft conducting missions over Iranian territory.
Moreover, by targeting critical infrastructure, including runways and maintenance facilities, the IAF effectively hindered takeoff capabilities from the targeted airports and reduced the operational strength of the Iranian army’s air power.
The strikes significantly impacted Iran’s air force capabilities, limiting its ability to launch air attacks and support aerial operations.
The operation, according to the Israeli military, demonstrates the Jewish nation’s commitment to maintaining air superiority in the region and protecting its interests.
The escalation between Israel and Iran has been ongoing, with both countries engaging in a series of aerial assaults. Israel has vowed to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities and has launched repeated strikes on Iranian military infrastructure.
