Israel's military officials announce that eight Israeli jetfighter engines have been stolen from Tel Nof airbase near Tel Aviv.

A military spokeswoman for the Tel Aviv regime stated on Monday that an inquiry into the theft of the aircraft engines has been launched, AFP reported.
“The military police have opened an inquiry into the matter,” said the spokeswoman without further elaborations.
According to news reports, air force officials have asserted that the stolen parts were engines that belonged to F-15 and F-16 aircraft.
The stolen parts were reportedly no longer in use and had most likely been stolen for their value as scrap metal, though Israeli military officials have described the theft as “very serious.”
Tel Aviv authorities have reportedly informed U.S. officials of the incident, which, according to some reports, took place when thugs entered the base. However, it is not yet clear how the relatively huge items had been removed without cranes or similar types of heavy equipment.
Tel Aviv has ordered 20 F-35 fighter jets manufactured by U.S. Lockheed Martin Corporation, which provides the Israeli regime with a variety of fighter aircraft, including F-16, F-22 and F-35.
