The Israeli Air Force destroyed eight Iranian Army Aviation AH-1J SeaCobra attack helicopters at a military airbase in the Kermanshah area of western Iran. The strikes were conducted in two waves: five helicopters were hit in the initial attack, followed by three more in a subsequent strike on the same day. The IDF stated the helicopters had been identified as a threat to Israeli aircraft operating in Iranian airspace. The attack was part of a broader IAF campaign to neutralize Iranian air defense and offensive aviation assets during the Twelve-Day War.
