Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Wednesday that he told a group of Israeli pilots and air crews that the world will see the Israeli military’s “might” once it launches an attack on Iran.

“In my conversation with them I emphasized – after we attack Iran, everyone will understand your might, the process of preparation and training – any enemy that tries to harm the state of Israel will pay a heavy price,” Gallant wrote on X.
He said in the post that Israel was fighting a war on “seven fronts,” referring to Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Iran.
In a video of Gallant addressing the airmen, he said, “After we attack in Iran, they will understand in Israel and elsewhere what your preparations have included.”
Gallant’s comments come amid anticipation of an Israeli attack on Iran in response to the October 1 Iranian missile barrage that was fired at Israel, which was retaliation for a series of Israeli escalations.
The US has vowed to defend Israel from any Iranian response to the coming Israeli attack and deployed a THAAD missile defense system to Israeli territory for that purpose. The THAAD system was deployed with about 100 troops, who could become potential targets of Iranian missiles.
