IDF: The Israeli Air Force dismantled the aircraft used by the Supreme Leader of Iran at Mehrabad Airport in Tehran
Overnight (Monday), the IDF conducted a precise strike and dismantled an aircraft used by the Supreme Leader of the Iranian terror regime at the Mehrabad Airport in Tehran.
The aircraft was used by Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Iranian terror regime, additional senior officials and Iranian military personnel to advance military procurement and to manage coordination with axis countries through both domestic and international flights.
The dismantling of the aircraft disrupts the Iranian regime leadership’s coordination capabilities with axis countries, it’s military force build-up efforts and it’s ability to rehabilitate its capabilities. As a result, another strategic asset of the regime has been degraded.
The IDF will continue to operate to degrade any means used by the military forces of the Iranian terror regime across Iran.

IDF: In recent days, IDF troops from the 91st Division have begun limited and targeted ground operations against key Hezbollah strongholds in southern Lebanon, aimed at enhancing the forward defense area.
This activity is part of broader defensive efforts to establish and strengthen a forward defensive posture, which includes the dismantling of terrorist infrastructure and the elimination of terrorists operating in the area, in order to remove threats and create an additional layer of security for residents of northern Israel.
Prior to the troops’ entry into the area, the IDF conducted strikes using both artillery and the Israeli Air Force against numerous terrorist targets in order to mitigate threats in the operational environment.
At the same time, IDF soldiers continue to carry out defensive missions to protect Israeli communities in the Galilee.
The IDF will continue to operate with determination against the Hezbollah terrorist organization, which chose to join the hostilities and operate under the sponsorship of the Iranian terror regime. The IDF will not allow harm to Israeli civilians.
