Snippet:
Israel's F-15s were the aircraft which assassinated Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Iran's top military leaders. They, along with the F-16s and F-35s, also were part of the key thrust on February 28 which broke the Islamic regime's ability to launch what would have been devastating large-scale ballistic missile salvos at Israel, and have continued hunting the missile teams down ever since.
