Israel-Iran War

Gallant: Iran's attack and defense capabilities have been weakened

Gallant then provided a description not only of Israel's capabilities but also the strategic significance of the strike in Iran, including the elimination of Iran's air defense capabilities.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant met along with IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi with the Israel Air Force Forum on Friday night, following the massive strike on Iran.

While there, Gallant said that "the response appears to have been very precise, effective and powerful – striking our targets as planned. You have demonstrated record-breaking capabilities."

Gallant then went on to describe precisely what Israel hit: "You have conducted accurate strikes on their radars and air defense systems, which creates a huge disadvantage for the enemy when we will want to strike later.”

He then ended with an assessment of the aftermath: “You have also damaged their production capabilities, which changes the balance of power. Their supplies are now set, and this affects their calculus. Both their attack and defensive capabilities have been weakened.
