The Israeli Air Force launched attacks against Tehran on the fifth day of joint operations with the United States, with the intention of weakening the regime, according to a military statement. The Israeli Army reported the destruction of an Iranian YAK-130 fighter jet over Tehran, although it has not provided visual evidence of the incident. The military command indicated that this is the first case in which a manned fighter jet is shot down by a ‘Adir’ F-35 combat aircraft. EFE has not been able to confirm this information. According to Israeli media, this is the first occasion in 40 years that the Israeli Air Force has been involved in an air-to-air confrontation with manned aircraft.
