JERUSALEM, March 1 (Xinhua) -- The Israeli military said on Sunday that it struck two Iranian fighter jets at Tabriz airport in western Iran, as they were prepared for takeoff.
The military said in a statement that the strike on the F5 and F4 warplanes was conducted to degrade the Iranian Air Force's activities and to further expand the degradation of Iran's aerial defense.
The military added that it will continue to strike Iran's infrastructure to "prevent threats against the State of Israel."
The U.S.-Israel operation entered its second day on Sunday, with large-scale airstrikes continuing amid retaliatory Iranian missiles and drones on Israel and U.S. military bases in Gulf countries. ■
