IRGC Intercepts Third Israeli F-16 over Central Iran
On Saturday the IRGC announced it intercepted an Israeli F-16 fighter jet at 3:45 AM local time over central Iran. Their modern air defense systems carried out the operation. The IRGC public relations said this marks the third Israeli jet downed by their forces. They claim to have destroyed over 200 hostile aircraft, including drones, cruise missiles and advanced fighters. Israel confirmed that one of its F-16s was targeted by a surface-to-air missile after departing from occupied territories on a mission near Tehran. The pilots reportedly survived the incident. This event follows renewed aerial confrontations since late February, with Iran launching missiles and drones at Israeli-held areas and US bases in response.
