Iranian Media Claims Downing of Israeli Jets


(MENAFN) The Iranian military allegedly brought down two Israeli warplanes participating in Friday's bombing raids on Iranian soil and has reportedly detained an Israeli female aviator, according to an Iranian news outlet.

Although Iran's armed forces have not formally verified the alleged takedown of the aircraft, Tasnim further claimed that a distinct Israeli drone was neutralized in the central region of Qom.

On the other side, Israeli military representative Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee dismissed the assertions, labeling them as “completely baseless” and accusing Iranian outlets of inventing stories.

Due to the ongoing hostilities between the two nations, independent confirmation of the competing allegations is not currently feasible.

At the same time, Iran’s Civil Aviation Authority released a NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions), stating that the nation’s airspace will remain shut to all aircraft until 2:00 pm local time on Saturday, as per a government-affiliated news agency.
