While the war between the USA, Israel, and Iran continues, a development from the front line has come to the fore. Images that emerged after Israeli warplanes targeted a helicopter drawing on the ground, mistaking it for a real one, sparked controversy.
In the images shared on social media, it was seen that the points targeted in the attacks were actually silhouettes of planes and helicopters drawn on the ground. It was noted that these drawings were prepared in a way that resembled real aircraft when viewed from the air.
IMAGES ARE FLOODING IN
After the incident, similar images began to be shared from different regions of Iran. The posts included shapes of planes and helicopters drawn on asphalt and open fields.
