Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant visited the command center for the IAF in Tel Aviv and determined that Israel was ready for a “quick transition to offense.”
Gallant said in a statement, “Our enemies are carefully considering their steps thanks to the abilities you have demonstrated in the last year.”
He added, “However, we must prepare for all scenarios, including a quick transition to offense.”
Gallant evaluated the IAF’s preparedness “in light of security developments,” including “the possibilities of offensive action in all combat sectors.”
Gallant, IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevy and CENTCOM general Michael Kurilla met to assess Israel’s preparedness for an attack.
Their meeting focused on “security-strategic issues and joint assessments in the region, as part of the response to threats in the Middle East.”
