Israeli fighter jets flew towards Iran over Syria and Iraq as part of an air force exercise conducted overnight between Monday and Tuesday, according to a report by Fox News. Simultaneously, Middle East Eye reported, citing local sources, that Israeli fighter jets were observed over southern and eastern Syria, as well as the Al-Muthanna Governorate in southern Iraq. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also reported extensive Israeli aerial activity over Syria, including fighter jets flying towards Iraq and returning to Syrian territory. However, no official confirmation was provided regarding the purpose of these flights.

These reports emerged after the Financial Times revealed that Israel had planned a broad attack on Iran around October 10, but the operation was halted due to opposition from then-U.S. President Donald Trump. According to that report, Israel had prepared for a multi-day strike campaign targeting nuclear facilities, power infrastructure, and sites associated with the Iranian regime. Trump reportedly opposed resuming hostilities before the U.S. midterm elections, leading to the plan's freezing.
