ISTANBUL (AA) – Israeli aircraft attacked three F-14 fighter jets of Iranian military forces in central Iran, the army said on Saturday evening.

“Israeli Air Force aircraft recently attacked three F-14 fighter jets of the Iranian military forces in central Iran,” the Israeli army spokesperson Daniel Hagari said.

“Israeli Air Force fighter jets are currently attacking military infrastructure in central Iran,” he added.

Hostilities broke out on June 13 when Israel launched airstrikes on several sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory strikes.

Israeli authorities said at least 25 people have been killed and hundreds injured since then in Iranian missile attacks.​​​​​​​

Meanwhile, in Iran, 430 people have been killed and more than 3,500 wounded in the Israeli assault, according to the Iranian Health Ministry.
