Israeli air force strikes air defence systems near Iran's Isfahan Video

The Israeli Air Force has carried out strikes on several Iranian missile systems aimed at targeting Israeli aircraft in the Isfahan region.

According to a statement on the IDF’s Telegram channel, in recent days, Israeli fighter jets have targeted Iranian missile and radar installations in the Isfahan and Tehran areas, Caliber.Az reports.

These systems were reportedly intended to lock onto Israeli Air Force planes and neutralise them.

The strikes are said to increase the Israeli Air Force’s freedom of operation within Iranian airspace, following a recent breakthrough towards Tehran.

Israeli jets and other aircraft continue to operate freely over Iran, conducting attacks on military sites in the western and central parts of the country.

The IDF has affirmed it will maintain operations to expand freedom of action in Iranian airspace and to achieve air superiority.

Note that on June 18, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced it had achieved complete dominance over Israeli skies following a missile strike.

According to the IRGC, the eleventh wave of Operation True Promise 3 involved firing advanced Fattah missiles that penetrated Israel’s missile defence systems, hitting military and strategic targets.

The IRGC warned Israel and its allies of decisive retaliation against any aggression, declaring the “myth of the Zionist army’s invincibility is crumbling” and describing Israeli positions as increasingly vulnerable and defenceless.
