Against the background of the negotiations on the nuclear agreements, the censor decided to allow the publication tonight (Sunday) that about a year ago an F-35 intercepted two unmanned aircraft from Iran, which were armed with firearms.

This is the first abortion in the world by the "mighty" type of stealth aircraft.

It is estimated that they were on their way to transfer weapons to Hamas.

The defense systems spotted them and bounced F-35s.

The IDF spokesman said that "UAV interceptions were carried out in the region's skies in coordination with neighboring countries, thus preventing intrusion into Israel. The UAVs

monitored the control and detection systems throughout their flight."

Iran was referring explosives from Syria to terrorist operatives in the West Bank. Ganz referred to an incident that took place in February 2018, when Tehran launched an unmanned aircraft from Syria's T4 airport, which was intercepted in the Beit She'an area.

"The purpose of the aircraft was, to our understanding, terrorist elements in Judea and Samaria," Ganz said.

"Iran is not only using unmanned aerial vehicles to attack, but also to carry out weapons transfers to its envoys."

The incident took place on February 10, 2018, when a combat helicopter intercepted the armed Iranian UAV that entered Israeli territory. In response, the Air Force attacked the site from which the UAV was launched, as well as a number of other targets.

During the attack, in the Tadmor area, anti-aircraft fire was fired at the aircraft and an F-16 plane began to crash and crashed in Kibbutz Harduf in the Jezreel Valley

. And called it a "ridiculous" claim.

A statement from the ministry's spokesman, Haram Qasmi, said the Islamic Republic had no military presence in Syria and was only advising government forces on its request.
