Defense Minister Yoav Galant visited Hatzerim Air Force Base on Wednesday and spoke with the pilots and technical crews at the base and stated: "After we attack Iran, everyone will understand what you did in the preparation and training process."
At the base, he received a comprehensive briefing from the base commander, Brigadier General Amichai Levin, and the squadron commanders on operational activity in the various arenas and on the IAF's preparations for the possibility of additional offensive operations, including against Iran.
During the visit, the Minister of Defense spoke with the air and ground crews and expressed his great appreciation for their increased activity over the past year, especially in view of the operational complexity. "You have the merit to participate in the Seven Front War," Galant said, referring to the IDF's activities in Gaza, Lebanon, Judea and Samaria, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Iran.
