The Israeli Air Force publishes cockpit footage of IAF fighter jets it says were flying over Iran.

“We, Israeli Air Force pilots and navigators, are currently flying in formation over the skies of Tehran, en route to strike historic targets,” a pilot is heard saying in a recording.

“We continue to fight, as required around the clock, and feel your support all the time. We wish you, Israeli citizens, a safe and quiet Shabbat,” the pilot adds.
