“Operation Breaking Dawn” was a preemptive strike on the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) that took place between August 5th and 7th, 2022. Israeli forces killed a leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) using a precision air strike on the apartment building he was in. The arrest of another PIJ leader angered the militant group who responded with rockets and mortars. The IDF struck 170 targets using fighter jets, drones, helicopters and artillery. Over the three days, 1,175 rockets and mortars were launched from the Gaza Strip at Israel.

The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a single-engine fighter aircraft built by General Dynamics, that later became Lockheed Martin. Originally designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multi-role aircraft that can perform various kinds of missions. First flown on January 20, 1974, the F-16 entered operational service with the USAF in January of 1979. It has an internal M61 Vulcan 20mm cannon and multiple locations for mounting missiles, bombs and other mission equipment. Although it is no longer being purchased by the USAF, improved versions of the F-16 are still being produced for export customers. Over 4,500 F-16s have been built for the U.S. Air Force and the air forces of twenty-five other nations.
