Israel continued to attack Iran on Monday, targeting its air defense capabilities, as the Islamic regime vows retaliation after the United States bombed three of its nuclear facilities over the weekend.

According to the IDF, the destroyed aircraft were intended for use against Israeli Air Force jets to hinder future strikes within Iranian territory. The attacks significantly disrupted takeoff capabilities at the targeted airports and degraded the Iranian military’s ability to operate its air force from those locations.

Israel's air force achieved a "remarkable feat," said William Freer, a research fellow for national security at the U.K.-based Council on Geostrategy.
