Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says the military is “fully preparing for any scenario” during a visit to the Navy’s elite Shayetet 13 unit.
“In the face of the rhetoric of our enemies, we are fully preparing for any scenario, in the air, at sea and on land,” Gallant says to the naval commandos, in remarks provided by his office.
“Don’t let the background noise distract you from the most important task, maintaining the security of the country and the peace of its citizens,” he adds, referring to national tensions over the judicial overhaul.
