(Ha'aretz) Anshel Pfeffer - Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Ya'alon told a conference on Israel's air power Monday: "We are already in a military confrontation with Iran....Iran is the main motivator of those attacking us, with its funding and training of Hizbullah."

"As far as I'm concerned, offense remains the best form of defense," Ya'alon added.
