The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Sunday morning said in a statement that it had struck F-14 fighter jets at Isfahan airport in central Iran.

The statement added that, in a broad wave of intelligence-led strikes, the Israeli air force on Saturday targeted compounds where the jets were stored.

Detection and defense systems were also struck, it added.

This strike follows the Israeli air force's destruction of 16 aircraft belonging to Iran's elite Quds Force at Tehran's Mehrabad Airport on Friday.
