The IDF claimed the strikes resulted in the destruction of 15 Iranian fighter jets and helicopters, including F-14, F-5, and AH-1 aircraft, according to India Today report. “As part of the effort to deepen air superiority in Iranian skies, the IDF attacked six Iranian regime airports,” the Israeli military said in a statement.

Israel continued to attack Iran on Monday, targeting its air defense capabilities, as the Islamic regime vows retaliation after the United States bombed three of its nuclear facilities over the weekend.

According to the IDF, the destroyed aircraft were intended for use against Israeli Air Force jets to hinder future strikes within Iranian territory. The attacks significantly disrupted takeoff capabilities at the targeted airports and degraded the Iranian military’s ability to operate its air force from those locations.

The bodies of an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldier and two civilians killed in the Hamas-led October 7 attacks have been recovered from Gaza in a military hostage recovery operation.

Israeli forces have recovered the bodies of three hostages which had been held in the Gaza Strip since the Palestinian militant group Hamas' 2023 attack, the military and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday.
