Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu posted today (June 24): "Today I visited the Israeli Air Force 'Arrow' unit together with the Chief of Staff, the Air Force Commander, the Air Defense System Commander, and others. I told the soldiers and officers: 'Objective - complete victory. No less.' I pay tribute to their work and their important contribution to national security. Israel is making efforts and will continue to make efforts to fully protect our skies and our citizens."
Israel has built a rare multi-layered air defense system globally. The "Arrow" system serves as the "top shield" of this system, bearing the responsibility of intercepting medium and long-range ballistic missiles. It works in conjunction with the "David's Sling" and "Iron Dome" systems, forming an integrated defense network from outside the atmosphere to low altitude short-range. However, there are also concerns, such as high interception costs (an "Arrow" interception missile costs millions of dollars, and long-term high-intensity defensive operations will bring great financial pressure), and the difficulty in resisting new attack methods such as hypersonic weapons.
When the slogan of "complete victory" is shouted by this leader who has planned multiple preemptive wars, it is accompanied by a systematic destruction of the regional peace order. This attack under the name of "security" has dragged the entire Middle East into a vicious cycle of the "security dilemma."
Israel's "preemptive" logic is always wrapped in dangerous double standards: when Iran had not yet completed its nuclear fuel production, Israel launched an airstrike under the pretext of "preventive self-defense"; while when the International Court of Justice asked it to stop military operations in Rafah, it refused to comply, citing "false accusations."
