Iran–Iraq War - Operation Beit ol-Moqaddas
Time: Friday Apr 23, 1982
Place: Khuzestan Province, Iran
Details: In preparation for Operation Beit ol-Moqaddas, the Iranians had launched numerous air raids against Iraq air bases, destroying 47 jets (including Iraq's brand new Mirage F-1 fighter jets from France); this gave the Iranians air superiority over the battlefield while allowing them to monitor Iraqi troop movements.
