Israel is preparing for escalation, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Sunday told new soldiers who enlisted in the Kfir and Nahal Brigades.
"Our enemies from Iran and Hezbollah
are threatening to harm us in ways they haven't attempted before, but
those who try will face a response from us like never before. We have
significant capabilities, and I hope they will reconsider and not
trigger a war on additional fronts," Gallant said.
He
also added, "I hope they will carefully consider their actions and
avoid causing us to do things that would lead to significant harm and
increase the likelihood of a war breaking out on additional fronts.
These are things we do not want, but we must be prepared for them as
they could happen."
Visit to the Netavim Airbase At the Netavim Airbase, Deputy Chief of Staff Maj.-Gen. Amir Baram
said during a visit, "The capabilities of the Israeli air force's
advanced reconnaissance aircraft highlight the significance and
importance of creating a qualitative advantage over the enemy,
especially when they are combined with the other capabilities available
in the Israeli air force," the IDF reported.
He
added, "The IDF continues to maintain high readiness for various
operational scenarios and will work to address gaps while rapidly
implementing lessons learned from both near and distant fronts."
