(Israel Defense Forces) On Feb. 10, Iran launched an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) from Syria which violated Israeli sovereign airspace. The Israel Air Force (IAF) intercepted the UAV and destroyed it, then targeted the control vehicle from which the UAV was operated in the Syrian T-4 Airbase near Tadmor. During the attack, multiple surface-to-air missiles were launched at IAF aircraft and hit an F-16 fighter jet. The two pilots were forced to eject and parachuted to safety in Israeli territory. The IDF then targeted 12 military objectives, including 3 air defense batteries and 4 targets that are part of Iran's military establishment in Syria. "We carried out a wide-scale attack on the air defense system - radars, rockets, batteries, posts...[in] the biggest and most significant attack the air force has carried out against Syrian air defenses since 1982," said IAF Brig.-Gen. Amnon Ein Dar. "What we've known for a long time is now clear to everyone: Iran wants to establish a front in Syria that is aimed at harming Israel," said Maj.-Gen. Yoel Strick, Head of the Northern Command. 2018-02-12 00:00:00Full Article
