Longest-range attack: Israel shoots down plane in Mashhad, Iran

The Israeli military said it hit a plane at an airport in Mashhad in northeastern Iran on Sunday, describing it as its longest-range attack since launching operations against Iran last week.

"A short while ago, the Israeli Air Force struck an Iranian refueling aircraft at Mashhad airport in eastern Iran, approximately 2,300 kilometers (1,430 miles) from Israel," the military said, adding that it was "the longest-range attack carried out since the start of the operation."

Iran's state-run Tasnim news agency reported an explosion near Mashhad's Shahid Hasheminejad Airport, adding that no damage was caused to the airport's buildings or runway.

Mashhad is home to the Imam Reza Shrine, the holiest site in Iran for Shiite Muslims.

Israeli strikes have killed senior Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists, and hit military bases, nuclear power plants and residential areas across the country.

Since then, Iran has launched a barrage of missile attacks on Israel, leaving at least 10 Israelis dead overnight Saturday and Sunday and dozens more injured.

Citing two US officials, Reuters reported on Sunday that US President Donald Trump vetoed an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, in recent days.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News on Sunday that regime change in Iran could be the result of Israel's military strikes./CNA
