Defense Minister Ehud Barak visited the Air Force base in Ramat David and said Israel "has the best pilots, ground teams, and jets in the world".
"The Air Force is our pillar of strength before threats near and far," he said. "The IDF is trained, prepared, and has both eyes open in every direction. With strength and deterrence such as this, Israel must attempt to reach peace with its neighbors." (Hanan Greenberg)
