Recent reports indicate that Israel has launched a multi-phase military strike targeting Iran's air defense systems. According to sources from Sky News Arabia, the operation aims to completely dismantle Iran's air defenses, with a focus on advanced Russian-made systems, including the S-400 and S-300. Initial phases of the attack involved the destruction of air defense capabilities in Syria and Iraq, followed by the targeting of radars associated with these systems within Iran. The Israeli military reportedly succeeded in destroying most of Iran's advanced air defense systems, effectively blinding its airspace to future attacks. This operation marks a significant escalation in regional tensions, with implications for both Israeli and Iranian military strategies.
