Iranian Fighter Jets Fail to Intercept Israeli Drones During Clashes

i24 military correspondent Yinon Shalom Yatach reports: The Iranian Air Force launched several fighter jets during recent clashes in an effort to intercept Israeli UAVs—but failed to make contact. According to military sources, the Iranian aircraft took off from distant airbases lacking an IDF presence and attempted to close in on Israeli drones operating in contested airspace. However, each time the jets approached, the drones reportedly retreated, avoiding engagement. The IDF has been targeting Iranian air capabilities, focusing efforts on destroying fighter aircraft while still on the ground, military officials said.
