Why Israel Does Not Mark Fighter Jet Kill Counts Like the U.S.

The article is framed as an episode of the Israeli program “Davar Rishon” with Moshe Mans, which previews several segments about recent military and political developments. Its main aviation question is why American fighter jets return from strikes with unusual victory markings on the fuselage, and why Israeli pilots do not do the same after aerial kills.

According to the program teaser, an Israeli F-16 pilot gives a surprising answer to that question. The segment also promises to examine what happened in the skies over Iran, including the marked-up U.S. jets that returned from the attacks, and a daring rescue operation carried out under fire in enemy territory.

Another featured guest is Dr. Kfir Teshuva, described as a game theory expert, who returns to analyze Donald Trump and whether the U.S. president backed down in a “60-day agreement” with Iran. The program says he will also discuss who is “winning” in what it calls the geopolitical World Cup, how that connects to the boundaries parents set for children at home, and warns about another country expected to challenge Israel.

The broadcast also teases a satellite tour of the destruction in Gaza, from Nir Oz to the coastline, using Google Earth images and asking whether the war will end with a “sea view.” Separate items mention a new figure on Trump’s birthday celebrations, a report that Americans were notified minutes before a strike in the Dahieh district, a story about a container that helped scientists learn about ocean waves, survival advice for an angry ostrich attack, and a lesson by chef Ilan Shani in a kosher Tel Aviv restaurant.
