High Air Force intensity and accurate intelligence drastically reduce the enemy's options.

The Israeli Air Force is fast, short and efficient. Three sorties are carried out every day to targets in Iran. This maximizes the enemy's ability to launch missiles.

This is what military expert Ben Caspit writes for Maariv.

The command focused on precise planning. Each sortie was prepared with interaction with U.S. forces in mind. Close cooperation with intelligence and coordination with allies ensured effective operations.

Tomer Bar, commander of the Air Force, built a system where each pilot and ground crew worked as a single unit. Accurate intelligence data came directly, providing lightning-fast strikes.

An increase in the number of sorties and optimization of training reduced the time between takeoff and attack. Pilots employed special measures to sustain a high rhythm of operations without sacrificing accuracy.

American forces supported operations with aerial refueling and coordination. This enhanced mobility and allowed operations virtually anywhere in the region.

Special attention was given to ground teams and women operators who ensured that aircraft and munitions were prepared with minimal delay. Their skill allowed more operations to be accomplished in less time.

In the end, the Israeli Air Force, in conjunction with U.S. forces, achieved a significant reduction in enemy missile launch capabilities. The effectiveness of the action was an example of the integration of aviation, intelligence and logistics.
