The Iranian side publicly disclosed on July 1 local time the results of Israeli Air Force fighter jets bombing the Qazvin Azadi Airport in Iran, with several light sport aircraft destroyed. However, the Israeli Air Force insisted that the Qazvin Azadi Airport is an Iranian Air Force airport used for training junior Iranian pilots. But the Qazvin Azadi Airport is actually the only civil airport in Yazd Province of Iran. Although it is claimed to be an international airport, its facilities are simple, and the terminal building is just a single-story house, with a small operational scale. It is not an Iranian Air Force airport or base at all. From the footage released by Iran, it can be seen that there are only light aircraft and sports planes here, not the Iranian Air Force's propeller primary trainers. For the Israeli Air Force, it is difficult to bomb Iranian Air Force bases and airports, as they are either underground or have hangar fortresses. However, civilian airports are different; they are not protected by the Iranian air defense forces, and their defensive capabilities are very weak. A few bombs would achieve significant combat results.
