The IDF releases a video and photos showing F-15 and F-16 fighter jets heading out to carry out last night’s strikes in Iran.

The images show some of the four female navigators in the Israeli Air Force squadrons who participated in the operation.

According to the military, dozens of Israeli Air Force aircraft, including fighter jets, refuelers, and spy planes, participated in the strikes some 1,600 kilometers from Israel.

The aircraft safely returned to Israel following the “complex” operation.
