Israeli Pilot: "We're Fighting an Enemy that's Threatening to Destroy Us"
(Ha'aretz) Yaniv Kubovich - Maj. N., 31, an F-16 combat pilot who participated in the attacks on Iran, said, "We prepared for the possibility of encountering much more effective defense than what we have seen and are seeing today in Iran." When they first arrived over Iran, they saw the takeoffs of Iranian Air Force planes, but after several minutes they realized, "We saw them flying towards the east...they fled from us." "There's an insane sense here of mission and pride that we're fighting an enemy that's threatening to destroy us, and we're strong against it. Every surface-to-surface missile that we destroy is one missile less to be launched against Israeli civilians, and every launcher that we destroy is another blow to their ability to harm us. It's clear to all of us what we're doing there."
