is instanceof an operator?

[Anton.Dil]

Greetings,

I have a query about which tokens should be considered operators.

Many sources say that instanceof is an operator, including the JLS, e.g. at https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se17/html/jls-15.html#jls-15.20.2

However, instanceof is not included in the list of operators here https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se17/html/jls-3.html#jls-3.12

Which is correct? Should instanceof be in the operators list?

Regards,

Anton
