Israel releases video of airstrikes in Iran
The Israel Defense Forces have released video footage purportedly showing their military strikes targeting Iranian soldiers who were preparing missile launchers for attacks on Israel from Western Iran. The video aims to substantiate the IDF’s claims of a significant military operation.
In an unprecedented move, Israel launched a series of airstrikes against Iranian targets, deploying approximately 200 fighter jets in what the Israeli military has described as its most extensive aerial operation to date.
On Saturday, the IDF shared footage of these airstrikes, which targeted missile launchers in western Iran. This military action is part of a collaborative effort between Israel and the United States to counter Tehran’s military capabilities.
According to the IDF, the operation was meticulously planned and executed under the guidance of IDF intelligence and the Israeli Air Force. The mission aimed to inflict significant damage on Iran’s missile and defense systems located in western and central regions of the country.
“This marks the largest military flyover in the history of the Israeli Air Force,” stated the IDF. “The operation was carried out with precise planning and relied on high-quality intelligence, coordinating hundreds of fighter jets simultaneously.”

Fighter jets dropped hundreds of munitions on about 500 targets, including aerial defense systems and missile launchers, attaining air superiority over Iran and severely degrading its offensive capabilities.
“The military flyover thwarted numerous threats to the IAF’s fighter jets and to Israeli civilians,” the IDF said, adding that the IAF continues to operate in Iran.
