TEL AVIV, March 2. /TASS/. Israel’s Air Force has carried out more than 1,000 combat sorties in the skies over Iran since the beginning of the military operation, the army said.

The military accompanied this information with a video clip showing how an Israeli fighter is dodging an Iranian missile in the sky over Tehran.

On February 28, the United States and Israel launched a military operation against Iran, hitting major Iranian cities, including Tehran. The White House justified the attack by missile and nuclear threats allegedly coming from Tehran.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps retaliated with a sweeping attack on Israel. US targets in Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia were also hit. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and some other key Iranian figures were killed.
