Israeli F-35s Launch Multiple Simulated Strikes on Iran Across Iraqi and Syrian Skies

Around ten Israeli Air Force F-35 fifth generation fighter aircraft reportedly departed Nevatim Airbase on the evening of October 19, flying through Syrian airspace before entering Iraq, where they conducted simulated attack runs. Similar flights have reportedly taken place over several consecutive days, amid heightened Iranian military alertness and speculation over the possibility of renewed U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran. The reported activity has not been officially confirmed by Israel, the United States, Syria or Iraq, although Iraqi authorities have acknowledged investigating unidentified aerial activity over western and southern parts of the country during October.
