Israel’s strike on Iran will be “lethal, precise and especially surprising,” says Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
Speaking during a visit to IDF Intelligence Unit 9900 — a unit that gathers intelligence in theaters of war — Gallant says that Iran “won’t understand what happened to it, or how.”
Iran’s strike last week, on the other hand, was “aggressive, but they failed because they were inaccurate.”
Gallant stresses that the IAF was not harmed in the attack, and that all runways are in operation, no plane was harmed, nor were any soldiers or civilians.
Gallant says that the entire Israeli security system, from the soldier on the ground up to the prime minister, is in sync around the strike on Iran: “The entire chain of command is in line and focused around this issue.”
