A clearer picture is starting to emerge following Israel’s 26 October air strike on Iran in retaliation for its 180-200 ballistic missile barge on Israel on 1 October. It now appears that around 100 Israeli fighter jets were used in the operation made up of F-35, F-15, and F-16 fighter jets, as well as perhaps 3 aerial tankers, an AWACS spy plane, and rescue and rescue aircraft (in the event anything went wrong).
