Israel Demonstrated Its Ability to Defend Its Skies
(Twitter) Maj.-Gen. (ret.) Amos Yadlin - The balance sheet on the day of fighting with Iran and Syria was clear: Israel demonstrated its ability to defend its skies. It struck Iranian forces in Syria directly and exacted a price from Iran. It destroyed many Syrian SAM sites and left Damascus exposed to future attacks. This is the most significant day of fighting in the "campaign between wars," and the IDF demonstrated most impressive intelligence and strike capabilities. The Iranians are determined to build a military power in the Levant and Israel is determined to stop them. The writer, former chief of Israeli military intelligence, heads the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University.
