Israeli F-16s Bomb Tehran at Low and Medium Altitudes as Air Defense Suppression Confidence Grows

Israeli Air Force F-16 fighter jets carried out bombing runs over Tehran, operating at medium and low altitudes — a notable tactical shift. The move signals Israel's growing confidence that Iranian air defenses have been largely suppressed. Israeli pilots now appear comfortable enough with Iran's degraded air defense capabilities to conduct bombing missions at lower, more exposed altitudes over the capital.
