Defense Minister Yoav Gallant tells troops at an Arrow long-range missile defense system battery, “We don’t want war, but we are preparing for all possibilities.”

The visit comes after Hezbollah’s most senior military commander was killed in an IDF airstrike in Beirut yesterday, and Hamas’s political leader was allegedly killed by Israel in Tehran this morning.
