Iran Attack

Dear Valdas,

The defensive ability that Israel demonstrated last night was impressive, as was the regional cooperation. However, without offensive activity on the part of Israel, we will find ourselves ‘normalizing’ the events of last night.

It is right to be proud of Israel’s display of defense last night, and the ability to mobilize a coalition of countries to block Iran’s attack.   At the same time, it should be remembered that defensive capability is only a platform for the offensive.

After a night that included the firing of over 300 drones and missiles from Iran, launches from Yemen and dozens of rockets from Lebanon, Israel must make it clear to the international community that it must attack in order to show our strength to our enemies and so as not to normalize attacks from Iran.

For the sake of Israel’s future, the cabinet must show a united front, and the people of Israel must show a united front.  They must support the Prime Minister to launch an offensive strike. Only such unity will make it possible to mobilize an international coalition to move forward with the objectives of targeting strategic sites in Iran which will keep the Iranian nuclear threat and the missile threat at bay.

Standing Strong,

Brigadier General (res.) Amir Avivi
