Acknowledging that the regime’s military airfields are at risk from Palestinian resistance missiles, the commander of the Israeli air force said that Hamas tried to shoot down an Israeli fighter during the 12-day war in Gaza.
Zionist Air Force Commander Amikam Norkin released new details about the 12-day war with Palestinian resistance groups in the Gaza Strip.
In an interview with Zionist TV Channel 12 (Mako), Norkin implicitly confirmed that the battle of the “Sword of Jerusalem” ended with the victory of the Palestinian resistance, and said: “Israeli military airports are under threat from Hamas missiles. They even tried to shoot down one of our fighters [in the recent war].”
In an effort to restore the regime’s disgraced reputation after declaring a unilateral ceasefire with the Gaza Strip and accepting defeat in the face of Palestinian resistance, he claimed: “An agreement was reached between the Palestinian factions and Israel, mediated by Egypt, on a ceasefire between the two sides.”
In another part of his speech, in response to a question about the axis of resistance in northern Palestine and Syria, the Zionist general claimed: “Iran’s claim to change behavior and beliefs about military deployment in the region is somewhat dramatic, but I think we have been effective in changing Iran’s operational plans in the region.”
According to the Mako website, Norkin also commented on the possibility of the United States selling F-35 fighter jets to the United Arab Emirates: “The position of the Israeli army in this regard is quite clear. We have to maintain our military superiority in that area.”
Clashes between the Zionist regime and Palestinian resistance groups began on May 10, after the end of the resistance strike in Tel Aviv over the need to end the attacks in Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque, and ended 12 days later. In the 12-day clashes between the resistance groups and the Zionist regime, more than 4,000 rockets and rockets were fired at occupied Palestine, and the weakness of the Iron Dome in intercepting and destroying Palestinian resistance rockets caused great financial and human losses in Zionist cities and towns.
During the 12-day war, Israeli air bases were one of the most important targets of rockets and rockets fired by Palestinian resistance groups, even at great distances from the Gaza Strip.
