According to a statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson, the operation aimed to neutralize a direct threat to Israeli aviation, as the Iranian aircraft were allegedly prepared for potential interception missions.
In parallel, the IDF released footage of a second operation involving the neutralization of an Iranian cell preparing to launch a drone against Israeli territory. According to the official statement, Israeli fighter jets had been monitoring the launch team for several days, identifying the equipment, platforms, and weaponry used.
The offensive was carried out minutes before the systems were activated, eliminating the operational cell and destroying the launchers on the ground before the UAV could be deployed. The attack is described as a “preventive action” in response to direct threats to Israel’s national security.
The episode marks a new escalation in tensions between Israel and Iran, with increasingly direct confrontations between air forces and strategic units on Iranian soil. Israeli authorities reiterated that they will maintain an active defense posture against any threat from the Iranian regime.
