Planned airstrikes on Iran will make the world understand Israel’s military might, the country’s defence minister, Yoav Gallant, has warned.

The Middle East has been braced for more than three weeks for a threatened Israeli response to Iran’s 1 October missile attack, which was in turn a reprisal for Israel’s killing of the Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

Gallant visited aircrews at Hatzerim airbase on Wednesday, and made clear that Israel still intended to strike back.

“After we attack in Iran, they will understand in Israel and elsewhere what your preparations have included,” Gallant told the crews in a video distributed by his office.

    It’s not Israel’s might…

    Like, if America gave any country billions and billions of dollars a year to spend on weapons and zero oversight on how they use them…

    Then they’d be able to do this shit too.

    If America ever stopped giving Israel money, they’d crumble almost immediately.

    It’s a literal welfare state that has never been self sufficient.
