Jerusalem: The Israeli army announced on Monday that it has conducted airstrikes on six military targets in Iran, resulting in the destruction of 15 aircraft. The military statement detailed that the targeted airports were located in western, eastern, and central regions of Iran, causing damage to runways, underground bunkers, a refueling aircraft, and various models of helicopters and jets including F-14, F-5, and AH-1.

According to Anadolu Agency, there has been no official comment from Iran regarding these claims by Israel. This development marks a continuation of the aerial combat between Israel and Iran, which began on June 13.
