Israel’s attack on Iran was carried out with at least one missile fired from a fighter jet in addition to drones and was more advanced than initially reported, The New York Times reported over the weekend.

The missile, equipped with technology that enabled it to evade Iran’s radar defense systems, damaged a Russian-made S-300 air defense system near the Natanz nuclear site in Isfahan.

According to two anonymous Western sources, the missile attack was intended to show Tehran that Israel can evade and paralyze Iran’s defense systems.

The report added that the missile was fired “far from Israeli or Iranian airspace” and did not enter Jordanian airspace.

The attack also involved drones fired from within Iran.
