Tel Aviv: The IDF shared footage of fighter jets launching strikes as Israel aimed at military sites in Iran in retaliation for an earlier Iranian attack this month. The video begins with Israeli fighter jet positioned on the runway, engines revving as pilots ready themselves for the mission. Wearing flight suits and helmets, the pilots perform final checks before entering the cockpits. Close-up shots reveal their intense focus as they fasten their harnesses and start pre-flight procedures.
For the 1st time, 4 female f-16 battle navigators took part in the Israeli airstrikes.
Though the strikes did not focus on the country’s critical oil and nuclear facilities following urgent appeals for restraint from allies and neighbours.
The potential for a broader conflict between heavily armed Israel and Iran adds to the instability in a region already affected by ongoing warfare in Gaza and Lebanon.
It remains uncertain whether these strikes will lead to further escalation. Israel’s military reported that multiple jets conducted three waves of strikes before dawn, targeting missile factories and other locations, while cautioning Iran against retaliation.
What led to the strike?
Israel conducted a series of pre-dawn airstrikes on military targets in Iran on Saturday, retaliating for the recent barrage of ballistic missiles launched at Israel by the Islamic Republic earlier this month.
The strikes were a response to the Iranian attack on October 1, which targeted military bases and civilian infrastructure in Israel. Israel stated it was on “peak alert” for any potential retaliation from Iran.
