Israeli Air Force

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) is the aerial warfare branch of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). It is responsible for maintaining Israel's air superiority and conducting aerial operations, including reconnaissance, air defense, and offensive strikes. The IAF is currently newsworthy due to reported strikes within Iran. Recent reports indicate the IAF conducted multiple strikes targeting Iranian missile launchers, defense systems, and UAVs in western Iran. These strikes, reportedly numbering over 60, targeted vehicles carrying ballistic missiles and loaded missile launchers. Additionally, there are claims of strikes hitting locations in Qom and Tehran, potentially impacting senior Iranian clerics and strategic assets. These events highlight the IAF's continued role in regional security dynamics and its capacity to project power beyond Israel's borders, contributing to heightened tensions in the Middle East.
