An IAF F-35 fighter was seen and photographed several days ago as it flew at low altitude in Lebanese airspace. The Hezbollah organization published an image of an F-35 but mistakenly said it was an F-15, causing some confusion, the Defence Blog website reports.
IAF sources refused to comment on Hezbollah's announcement, but the images drew many responses in Lebanese social media because, according to the report, they were the first images of an F-35 "Adir" during an operational sortie. The IAF declared the planes to be operational in 2017, and there are two squadrons, "Golden Eagle" and Lions of the South", at the Nevatim base in southern Israel.
In August 2019, the London-based, Arabic-language newspaper Asharq al-Awsat reported that Israeli F-35s attacked warehouses of the Iranian military where arms and missiles were stored. The warehouses were at Camp Ashraf northeast of Baghdad.
