Report: IAF Wiped Out 59 Iranian Missile Launchers in 34 Minutes
Excerpts;
The success of the raid was the greatest Israel Defense Forces achievement during the war, and according to Israeli assessments, it prevented Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, from being able to carry out his threats and strike central Israel with missiles.
The air attack of 13 July struck the Zelzal and Fajr missiles in the Hezbollah arsenal, both made in Iran. The range of the Zelzal can endanger the Tel Aviv area from Lebanon.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and senior IDF officers prided themselves for the success of this air raid.
Olmert described it as “an impressive, perhaps unprecedented, achievement,” and his aides went as far as to compare it to the destruction of Arab air forces during the first day of fighting in the Six-Day War, in 1967.
Commentary;
Someone’s got amnesia or a short memory in this historical revision. What about the daily blitz of Haifa, Safed, etc? And Olmert’s boastful comparison of the attack “to destruction of Arab air forces during the first day of fighting in the Six-Day War,” What a laugh! MB
