Israeli AH-64 helicopters occasionally saw use in the air-to-air role. The first operational air-to-air kill with an Apache took place on 24 May 2001, after a civilian Cessna 152 aircraft entered Israeli airspace from Lebanon, with unknown intentions and refusing to answer or comply with air traffic control (ATC) repeated warnings to turn back. An Israeli Air Force AH-64A fired on the Cessna, resulting in its complete disintegration.[182] The second operational air-to-air kill with an Apache occurred on 10 February 2018, after an Iranian UAV entered Israeli airspace from Syria. An Israeli Air Force AH-64 launched a missile at the UAV, destroying it.[183]
