"Whoever thinks that by attempting to harm Israel they will deter us from taking action, should take a look at our achievements in Gaza and in Beirut."
Last week’s Iranian missile attack “did not touch the Air Force’s capabilities,” Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on Sunday, as Jerusalem prepares for a significant response.
“The IAF’s operations—both defensive and offensive—ensures the security of the citizens of Israel. The Iranians have not even ‘touched’ the IAF’s capabilities—not a single squadron has been damaged, not a single aircraft has been damaged, there is not a single runway that is out of order and there is no disruption in our operations,” Gallant said during a visit to Nevatim Air Force Base near Beersheva, according to his office.
“Whoever thinks that by attempting to harm Israel they will deter us from taking action, should take a look at [our operational achievements] in Gaza and in Beirut,” the minister continued.
