Overnight, one Israeli operation saw at least 41 people killed and 40 injured, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

This is the first time an F-35 has shot down a manned fighter jet. We will probably get more details throughout the day, but on Mar. 4, 2026, the Israeli Defense Forces announced on social media that an F-35I Adir jet belonging to the Israeli Air Force shot down an Iranian Yak-130 over Tehran.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has shared a short video on social media showing cockpit footage of a pilot flying towards Tehran. The footage comes as the war with Iran enters its second week.

On March 4 and 5, the United States and Israel continued attacks against elements of the Islamic Republic’s military assets, including its missile and naval threat capacity, as well as its repression apparatus.

The F-35, which is flown by many countries, had previously only logged missile and drone interceptions until now.

The strikes include Tehran's main air situation room, operated by the IRGC air force, and 16 aircraft belonging to the elite Quds Force that were used to transfer weapons to Hezbollah.

The OSMP has added Israeli 2,000-pound-class air-delivered bombs with distinct red and yellow markings. This suggests the munitions likely contain an incendiary and high-explosive payload. The best known of these is the BLU-119/B CrashPAD which contains white phosphorous. pic.twitter.com/MWkudRFKlb
