Israel used US-made F-35 stealth fighters in its largest-ever strike on Iran: report

Israel deployed US-made F-35 stealth fighters among its 100 jets, spy planes and refueling aircraft to conduct its largest-ever strike on Iran, which left Tehran vulnerable should war break out, a report says.

The Jewish state greenlit the use of F-35s, its most-advanced aerial weapon, to help lead operation “Day of Repentance” that bombarded military sites across Iran on Friday night, sources told the Wall Street Journal.

The four-hour operation, which was launched in retaliation over Tehran’s ballistic missile barrage against Israel on Oct. 1, also destroyed several of Iran’s missile defense-system batteries, leaving a hole in the Islamic nation’s security in a reported attempt to discourage another attack on Israel
