Dozens of IAF jets, refueling aircraft flew 'as far as Iran border' in practice sortie - report
Dozens of Israel Air Force fighter jets flew "as far as the Iranian border" before turning around and returning to Israel in a practice sortie on Monday, according to an Axiosreport on Wednesday citing US and Israeli officials.
The fighter jets and accompanying refueling aircraft allegedly passed through Syrian and Iraqi airspace, following a flight path consistent with that taken during strikes on Iran.
While some sources told Axios that the sortie was not unusual and was intended to deter Iran, US officials said that Israel knew Iran’s air defense systems would detect the jets.
Israel reportedly notified the US of the operation in advance, describing the training exercise as a “power projection” aimed at deterring Iran from attacking Israel ahead of the October 27 Knesset elections.
On Tuesday, Fox News’ Trey Yingst also reported that Israeli fighter jets had conducted drills during which they flew over Syria and Iraq.

US issues evacuation of non-emergency government employees from Saudi Arabia
The US State Department has ordered the departure of non-emergency government employees and family members from US embassies in the Saudi Arabia, US officials said Wednesday.
This is inaccurate. The U.S. Department of State issued an ordered departure for non-emergency U.S. government employees and their family members in Saudi Arabia only. Iranian-supported Houthis have increasingly engaged in hostilities against Saudi Arabia, including attacks on civilian airports and other critical infrastructure resulting in civilian casualties and severe travel disruptions. The safety and security of Department personnel and their families remain our highest priority, and we will continue to take all necessary steps to protect and support them.
