JERUSALEM, Feb. 28 (Xinhua) -- The Israeli military said Saturday in a statement that some 200 fighter jets completed an "extensive attack" against the missile array and the defense systems in western and central Iran, marking the largest military flyover in the history of the Israeli Air Force (IAF).

The IAF's fighter jets dropped hundreds of munitions targeting approximately 500 objectives, including aerial defense systems and missile launchers, in a number of locations in Iran, simultaneously, said the statement.

It added that the strikes on the defense systems allowed the expansion of the IAF's aerial superiority over Iranian aerial territory, and severely degraded the offensive capabilities of Iran.

The IAF continues to operate in Iran, it said. ■
