Israel has carried out a strike on a fuel supply aircraft at Mashhad Airport in southeastern Iran, confirmed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). According to a report by The Times of Israel, the attack, executed from a distance of 2,300 kilometers, marks one of the farthest strikes conducted by Israel in its history.
The IDF stated that this was the first time such a long-range attack was carried out since the onset of operations against Iran. The Israeli Air Force is actively working to establish air superiority across Iran, the IDF added. Following the strike, multiple videos captured a massive fireball at Mashhad Airport, indicating significant damage.
This operation is considered the farthest strike conducted by the Israeli Air Force (IAF). Previously, in 1985, Israel targeted the headquarters of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in Tunisia, located over 2,000 kilometers from Israel.
The attack is likely to escalate tensions between Iran and Israel. Analysts suggest that this strike demonstrates Israel's military capabilities and its ability to hit distant targets with precision.
