The Israeli Air Force was fully prepared to execute a large-scale strike against hundreds of targets in Iran last week, according to Maj. Gen. Omer Tischler. He revealed the “entire air force was ready” for the sortie, which was planned as a broad offensive operation. However, the order to launch was rescinded just one hour before the aircraft were scheduled to depart. Tischler’s confirmation provides further detail regarding the tense period following Iran’s attack on Israel. The decision to call off the strike remains undisclosed, but suggests a last-minute intervention prevented immediate military retaliation. This revelation underscores the high level of alert and preparation within the Israeli military in recent days.
