Tel Aviv:  Iran has destroyed many 5th generation Israeli F-35 fighter jets in a massive missile attack which were reportedly used by Israel in airstrikes on Gaza during the invasion, as per reports. 

On the eve of Rosh Hashanah (Jewish  New Year  ), Israel faced a massive missile attack, with over 400 ballistic missiles launched from Iran, setting off sirens across the country. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that the missiles were fired from Iran, leading to alerts in central and southern Israel, urging citizens to seek immediate shelter. The global reaction was swift, with the West and pro-Israel nations condemning the attack, while celebrations erupted in Iran.
