In recent days, Iran attempted to shoot down an Israeli fighter jet during an air force attack.

The IDF said that the plane "was close to being hit," but "the attempted downing failed in light of the pilot's alertness and professionalism.".

The incident occurred while the Air Force planes were on an attack mission in Iran.

The IDF said that despite the attempt to shoot down the plane, "the mission was successfully completed." It was also stated that "the incident will be investigated and lessons learned.".

Despite the damage to the military capabilities of the regime in Tehran, since the beginning of the war there have been numerous attempts to shoot down Israeli fighter jets in Iranian skies.

""The air crews dealt with the threat successfully," the army said. "The Air Force will continue to fly and attack wherever necessary, including in Iranian skies under threat, and will complete its missions in every operational sortie.".
