I maintain close, daily contact with my close partners in the United States Armed Forces as part of the execution of the operation. There is a shared interest here - a commitment to removing an existential threat from Israel and from the entire region."
"These are historic days, which were planned with precision. Our intelligence, aerial defense, logistics and additional units are operating day and night together with their counterparts in the U.S. Armed Forces. The Israeli Air Force and the United States Air Force are operating together and enabling the pace of our progress and the depth of the impact we have achieved. We’re not stopping, and in the coming days we will continue to expand our achievements and weaken the Iranian regime," he said.

I would like to express my deep appreciation for the determined and courageous actions of the United States Armed Forces and the strong coordination that has been formed between us," the Chief of Staff concluded.
