On October 23, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant delivered an inspiring message to Israeli Air Force personnel via a video statement, emphasizing that following airstrikes against Iran, the world will witness Israel’s military strength.

There are reports suggesting that Israel may carry out airstrikes against Iran in the near future, in retaliation for a large-scale ballistic missile attack launched by Iran on October 1. Insider sources indicate that Israel is likely to act before the U.S. presidential election on November 5.

In the video released on the social media platform X, Gallant stated, “In my conversations with the air force members, I stressed that after we attack Iran, everyone will understand your power, preparation, and training processes. Any enemy that attempts to harm Israel will pay a heavy price.”

The video was reportedly filmed at Hatzerim Air Base in Israel, which is notable as the launch point for Israeli missions that resulted in the death of a Hezbollah leader at the end of September.

The Biden administration has urged Israel to refrain from targeting Iran’s oil infrastructure or nuclear facilities, expressing concerns that escalating tensions in the crucial two weeks leading up to the U.S. elections could have serious repercussions.
