Iran launched “many missiles” against Israel, however, “allies and partners”, the United States (US), France and the United Kingdom (UK) joined strength and helped Israel intercept all missiles.
According to the Israeli Air Force (IAF): “The Chief of Staff, Major General Herzi Halevi, visited the Nabatim base today with the base commander, Lieutenant Colonel Yotam Sigler.
During the visit, the Chief of Staff toured the mighty 140 Squadron and had a conversation with the air crews and commanders in the squadron, who took part in thwarting and intercepting the Iranian attack against Israel as part of Operation “Iron Shield”.
Attached are his full words: “Look in a short story, Iran wanted to harm the strategic capabilities of the State of Israel, this is something that did not happen in the past. We were prepared in the ‘Iron Shield’ operation, this preparation brought Iran to also meet air superiority, which you expressed very well.
Last Monday we saw what was being organized, and we think that the State of Israel is very strong and knows how to deal with it alone, but with a threat so numerous and so far away we are always happy to have with us, and I tell you, a phone call to the commander of the US Central Command, General Korilla, last Monday , Thursday morning he already landed in Israel, we started joint coordination. There is something in this statement – Iran meets a very, very strong international capacity here.
Look, we are looking ahead, we are considering our steps, and this launch of so many missiles, cruise missiles, and UAVs into the territory of the State of Israel will be met with a response.
Let’s summarize this visit, excellent people do excellent processes and bring excellent results. It is very, very noticeable. I think you are well prepared and I very much trust this ability going forward for what will be required.'”
