More than 1,600 KM Away: Israel Air Force strikes Iranian air defence site near Caspian Sea
As part of the waves of air strikes completed yesterday (Sun.), the Israel Air Force hit a site where the Iranian regime’s air defence systems were installed near the Caspian Sea in northern Iran.
The site was concealed within a forested area, more than 1,600 kilometres (1,000 miles) from the territory of the State of Israel.
The defence systems attacked at the site posed a threat to Air Force aircraft, and striking them preserves and even further expands the Air Force’s air superiority in Iranian airspace, said the IDF (Israel Defence Forces).
