Sightengine disagrees with you, what makes you think so?
The fact that the afterburner is on after the crash, the wing is actually backwards, and also how this was shown wherever some news said "F35 down" despite not having anything in common with an actual F35. Even if it was an F16 the first points still stand.
Same with the "Soroka Hospital map" that was clearly AI generated going by the letters alone, and it didn't have anything to do with the actual Soroka Hospital that you can find on any map service (seriously, it's like Google Maps or OSM don't exist).
I don't really care whether they downed F35s, I just wish people stopped posting AI slop and passing it as proof, it really damages any kind of credibility they have.
Also, there's absolutely no vegetation or rocks on the ground. It's all the same texture and same evenness. There's no burn or skid marks on the ground. There's no other debris or wreckage strewn about the area. The afterburner colours look exactly like the first image on a Google search for "F35". The plane's surface looks rough and matte, sort of like an F16, whereas F35s have a really slick, almost shiny surface. The fuselage of an F35 is much less cylindrical and more ellipsoid (again reminds me more of an F16 or F15).
Probably some news website made the image to accompany their article. Maybe they even mentioned in the caption that it was AI generated. Then other websites picked up the picture hastily and used it without question.
Believe me, I am not fond of AI generated images, I am probably more A.I paranoid than you, but I think this image, if it is fake, is likely just a regular old doctored picture. Tools which are pretty reliably able to detect this sort of thing are not coming up with anything in this case.
Idk, with how some parts of the image appear very clear and others are indistinguishable, I thought immediately of AI. You could be right too.

the tail section of an f-35 looks like this:
