Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says Iran’s missile and drone attack on the country earlier this week “failed” and “they will fail to deter Israel.”
“The Iranians will not be able to implement a different equation of deterrence against the State of Israel,” Gallant says to troops in northern Israel.
“The Air Force planes are operating everywhere, the skies of the Middle East are open, any enemy that will fight against us, we will know how to hit it wherever they are,” he adds.
