IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari told reporters that the Israeli Air Force is operating at full capacity and will carry out powerful strikes in the Middle East tonight, as it has for the past year.
He noted that the Israeli and U.S. air defense systems worked effectively during the Iranian attack involving 180 missiles, highlighting the close cooperation in detection and interception.
“We are still assessing the impact of the attack and prefer not to reveal all details to the enemy,” Hagari stated.
He added, “Iran has committed a serious act tonight and is escalating tensions in the Middle East. We will respond at a time and place of our choosing, in line with directives from our political leadership.” Hagari concluded, “Tonight’s events will have consequences.”
