General Background

The F-16 Fighting Falcon was produced by General Dynamics who became Lockheed who then merged with Martin Marietta to become Lockheed Martin. The F-16 entered service in January 1979 as a multi-role jet fighter that evolved into an all-weather multi-role aircraft capable of sustaining 9-g turns. The F-16 is relatively inexpensive to purchase and maintain so the U.S. and 25 other countries added it to their inventory. The Fighting Falcon is referred to by its pilots as the "Viper"; and will remain in USAF service until 2025.

The Aircraft

“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, combat helicopters, and artillery. Over the three days, 1,175 rockets and mortars were launched from the Gaza Strip at Israel.
