Israeli Air Force conducts its largest-ever attack as over 200 aircraft strike 500 targets in Iran
The Jerusalem Post ^ | FEBRUARY 28, 2026 | YONAH JEREMY BOB

The IDF said that over 200 Israeli Air Force aircraft had struck 500 Iranian targets on Saturday night, in the largest aerial attack ever conducted by Israeli forces.

An IDF video showed two major initial waves of attacks.

The first wave struck what appeared to be dozens of radars and anti aircraft defenses, especially in the part of Iran closer to Israel and the Tehran area.

During the second wave, the Air Force struck Iran's ballistic missile apparatus to attempt to reduce its ability to strike the Israeli home front.

In the Tabriz area, the IDF struck a major site from which the Islamic Republic has fired dozens of ballistic missiles at Israel.

The IDF is also working to establish stand in air supremacy which it achieved in June 2025 to be able to keep drones and other aircraft hovering in areas from which Tehran might try to fire on Israel in order to blow up the missile teams before they can fire.

Not sure, but I feel that’s really big even by our standards.

Iran trying to figure out whether to shoot remaining assets at Israel or Arab countries.

It looks like this is a let’s finish this once and for all op. We are doing the world a favor. Iran has been a thorn in the side of the world 40 years. Enough.

Too bad Carter didn’t live long enough to see this.

Typically, by now we would have a brief by the Pentagon informing of how much and what type of whoop ass was used.

Not shooting at Arab countries. Shooting at Sunni countries.

Especially when one considers the payload of modern strike aircraft and accuracy of munitions versus that of a WW-II B-17.

Exactly, Carter had a major role in giving us that mess! At least Obama can see where the $150 billion he sent to Iran went.

Good for Israel; good for the United States; and good for the entire world, even if Fetterman is the only Democrat who can figure it out.

The worst period of my life was during the Obama regime. Probably no coincidence it was also the first and only time in my life I had ever experienced bedbugs. That is why until my dying day I will always consider his reign as the ‘Obamanation’ .

Long overdue. We should have turned Israel loose on Iran ages ago.

Agreed. I wish I had a dollar for every time that Rush said that the best thing for the Middle East would be to unleash Israel.

No way in the world they will be able to do that. I think our Navy might have some thoughts about that.

I’m pretty sure that was the Bush Family who kept Israel from attacking.
