IAF Chief Says Israel Halted Iran Strike 1 Hour Before Takeoff
Gen. Omer Tishler said the canceled mission would have hit hundreds of sites deep inside Iran, while Israel still carried out precision strikes.
- On Tuesday, Israeli Air Force Commander Maj. Gen. Omer Tishler revealed that Israel canceled a large-scale strike on Iran one hour before takeoff, an operation intended to target hundreds of sites deep inside the Islamic Republic.
- This planned offensive followed dozens of surface-to-surface missiles launched from Iran at Israel after an Israeli strike in a Hezbollah stronghold in Dahieh, all of which Israel's air defense systems intercepted with no casualties.
- Previously, the Israeli Air Force struck dozens of targets about 1,500 kilometers away, significantly damaging Iranian air defense arrays; the aborted mission would have encompassed 'hundreds of targets in the heart of Iran,' Tishler wrote.
- Reports indicate Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu halted the strike following diplomatic pressure from President Donald Trump; on June 14, Trump announced Washington and Tehran signed a Memorandum of Understanding halting hostilities.
- Tishler praised air force personnel for their 'flexibility, speed and power' in planning and execution, emphasizing the military continues focused on ensuring the security of the State of Israel.
