Israeli air force chief promises 'surprises' in any war with Hezbollah
The Commander of the Israeli Air Force, Major General Tomer Bar, met yesterday with heads of authorities at the Ramat David air base with the participation of other commanders from the Air Force and the Northern Command, the Israeli army said on Thursday.
"We are ready for war. The responsibility of the Air Force to implement all operational plans is full. And there will be a crushing punch as deadly as possible against an enemy we know and there will be surprises," the Israeli commander said.
“Who was the target of the (recent aerial) attack against the Houthis (in Yemen)? It was aimed at the entire Middle East, both (Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan) Nasrallah and Iran,” Tomer Bar said.
“Throughout the war we have maintained and still maintain a capability that if a war breaks out in the north and with Iran we can handle it. Nine months and we are 'all in', not resting for a moment, understanding the righteousness of the way,” Bar added, stressing that the Israeli air force is “ready.”
