Daily Briefing Oct. 26, Day 386 – Top guns: Israeli fighter jets strike across Iran
Military reporter Emanuel Fabian on the Israel Air Force’s ‘Days of Repentance’ mission targeting military sites throughout the Islamic Republic; plus, a look at Iran’s capabilities
Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world.
Military reporter Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today’s episode.
Early this morning, Israel launched Days of Repentance, its long-awaited retaliatory strike against Iran, almost a month after the Islamic Republic’s October 1 massive barrage of some 200 ballistic missiles.
Fabian explains the timeline and goals of the Israeli Air Force’s targeting of strategic military sites near Tehran and other parts of Iran in several waves of operations.
The Iranian Air Force reportedly has only a few dozen working strike aircraft, including Russian jets and aging US models acquired before the country’s 1979 Islamic Revolution. We hear about Iran’s aerial defense and offense capabilities ahead of a potential escalation between Iran and Israel.
