IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot said at the graduation ceremony of a pilot course: "In recent years, the IDF has been active in a battle that has taken place far from the public eye - the war between the wars. It begins with an in-depth intelligence gathering and fruitful cooperation and ends with carrying out the mission accurately and qualitatively, knowing that the air and space arms are powerful and has outstanding planning and execution capabilities. "
"Together we worked daily to achieve important strategic goals, and we recorded important achievements, which led, among other things, to thwart Iranian armament and the thwarting of Hezbullah's tunneling capabilities.
