Israel says Iranian missile fired at warplane missed target

Israel’s military said an Iranian surface-to-air missile was launched at one of its aircraft during an Israeli air force operation in Iranian airspace, but caused no damage and did not disrupt the mission.

The military said the crew acted in line with operational procedures and completed the mission as planned.

It added that since the start of Operation Roaring Lion, there had been multiple attempts to target and shoot down Israeli fighter jets over Iran, and said Israeli air crews had dealt with those threats successfully.
