Israel at War. Earlier this month, within a period lasting less than a week, the Israeli Air Force demonstrated its capabilities in the two basic domains of warfare : defense and offense.
First, along with the US and other friendly militaries, it intercepted hundreds of Iranian missiles and drones, minimizing hits and casualties on the ground. Then, in an apparent though undeclared operation, it sent a signal to Iran through a very limited attack on one or two of its facilities.
All in all, there was little reported harm resulting from both episodes. So, what is the evaluation of Israel’s defensive and offensive capabilities? Joining us to present the pros and cons of both:
