Since the start of the war between Israel and Iran, a number of Iranian media outlets with close links to the government have reported that Iran had shot down four Israeli F-35 fighter jets.

Iran has claimed it shot down two Israeli fighter jets amid a wave of retaliatory strikes between the two countries. One of the pilots, a woman, was reportedly captured, according to Iranian state-linked media.

The Israel Defense Forces has not acknowledged losing any aircraft in the opening strikes of its Operation Rising Lion, which involved more than 200 aircraft that dropped a significant number of munitions, setting back Tehran’s nuclear program and killing several high-ranking military officials and atomic scientists.
