Israeli aircraft flying over Nasrallah’s funeral is a message not only for Hezbollah

The American “National Interest” website stated that “Israel showed a tremendous force this week after four of its first -class combat planes fly over the procession of Hezbollah Secretary -General Hassan Nasrallah. Two F-15i RA’ams fly 69 and two F-35i AdIRS planes from Squirt 104 at a low altitude over the party’s supporters during their funeral Nasrallah. While these planes targeted targets related to Hezbollah throughout Lebanon, tens of thousands of participants in the funeral heard the pledge of the successor of Nasrallah Sheikh Naim Qasim to adhere to his legacy.









According to the website, “In a statement issued to the public, Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz said that the flight was a direct message to those who threaten Israel:“ The Israeli Air Force planes that are currently flying over Beirut, over the funeral of Hassan Nasrallah, transmits a clear message: everyone who threatens to destroy and attack Israel will be the end. ”The use of F-15 and F-35 aircraft in Lebanese airspace is indicated Israeli in the area. ”

The site continued, “When Nasrallah was assassinated in an air strike carried out by the Israeli Air Force in September, the Iranian -backed party was hit by a strong strike. Hezbollah, in addition to the other regional agents of Tehran, took advantage of the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 against Israel and ascended from hostilities on its common borders in the past fall, followed by a widespread conflict, which is the largest between Hezbollah and Israel since the 2006 war. The ceasefire agreement was reached this fall, but Israel insisted on the right to target the threats in Lebanon regardless of this. While the assassination of Hezbollah Secretary -General definitely led to the decline of the party’s strength, it is still considered the deadliest agent in the region.

According to the site, “Many consider that the version specifically for Israel from the American-made F-35 Lightning II is the most powerful of the fifth generation of aviation in the sky. While it was allocated with advanced local technologies, including unique electronic warfare systems, “AdIR” provides Israel’s air superiority it needs to maintain security. In terms of armament, each ADIR plane was armed with advanced air-to-air weapons such as AIM-120D and AIM-9X Sidewinder. The Israeli Air Force is often deployed its F-35i fleets to strike terrorism-related targets in Gaza and Lebanon.

The website continued, “While the Israeli version of the F-15I plane may be older than“ AdIR ”,“ Ra’am ”pose a threat when it comes to the tasks of distant-range strikes. F-15I aircraft can also carry a heavy weapons load, including a 20 mm innect, AIM-9 Sidewinder, AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles, up to 18,000 pounds of fuel and ammunition. However, it may be the most important thing is its great range. The Israeli Air Force is deploying its fleets of F-15I aircraft when it needs to reach targets in the depth of enemy lands. Since its introduction to service, “Ra’am” planes have fought battles in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza.
