The military said the operation targeted Iranian aircraft and helicopters, along with infrastructure used by the regime’s armed forces for military purposes at Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport and two smaller airstrips in the area.
“Dozens of Israeli Air Force fighter jets hit Iranian planes and helicopters, as well as infrastructure ‘used by the regime’s armed forces for military purposes,’” the IDF statement said.
The strikes come amid ongoing Israeli operations against Iranian military targets. The IDF has previously hit sites linked to the Quds Force and other regime infrastructure in the capital region, including areas near Mehrabad International Airport.
No immediate details were available on casualties or the full extent of damage on the Iranian side. Iranian state media has not yet commented on the latest reported strikes.
The operation reflects Israel’s continued efforts to degrade Iran’s air capabilities and military infrastructure during the current conflict.

They said they completely eliminated their airforce weeks ago. I guess it was not completed …nor is the 90% elimination of ballistic missles anywhere close to reality. Bottom line: A healthy dose of skepticism is required from ALL wartime army claims.
