Israeli Jets Scramble as Iranian Missiles Rain Down

Raw footage captured Israeli Air Force jets launching from the runway as a salvo of Iranian ballistic missiles streaked across the sky. Visible in the video are an F-35 and an F-15, two aircraft that represent the backbone of Israeli air power, lifting off in direct response to Iran’s retaliatory strikes against American and Israeli positions across the region.

The scene reflects the opening hours of Operation Epic Fury, the joint US-Israeli offensive targeting Iranian Revolutionary Guard command infrastructure, air defense networks, and senior regime officials. Iran answered quickly with waves of ballistic missiles and drones aimed at bases throughout the Middle East.

Many of those incoming missiles were intercepted. Footage from the ground, including this video, confirms the pace and intensity of the exchange. The Israeli F-35, a fifth-generation stealth fighter, and the F-15, a proven multi-role strike aircraft, were built for exactly this kind of high-tempo scramble.
