Revolutionary Guards Say They Targeted Israeli F-16 Fighter Jet

Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced today that they targeted an Israeli F-16 fighter jet flying over central Iran. The announcement comes at a time of escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, following US-Israeli strikes against the Islamic Republic. The Israeli military confirmed that a surface-to-air missile was fired at an Israeli aircraft during an operational activity, but reported no damage. Iranian announcements and Israeli statements appear to refer to the same incident. In addition, Iranian media reported images of smoke, stating that another aircraft was targeted, without clarifying its identity. The Revolutionary Guards had previously stated that an American F-35 had also been damaged.
