The chief of the Israeli Air Force, Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar, says the IAF is ready for “any scenario,” amid heightened tensions following last night’s airstrike in Beirut and this morning’s alleged Israeli assassination of Hamas’s leader in Tehran.
“The Air Force defends and attacks in all arenas of the war, enveloping the State of Israel with dozens of aircraft, manned and remotely manned, prepared and ready in a matter of minutes for any scenario, in any arena,” he says at a graduation ceremony for drone operators at the Palmachim Airbase.
“We will act against anyone who plans to harm the citizens of the State of Israel, there is no location that is too far for us to attack,” Bar adds.
