Defense Minister Benny Gantz highlighted two Iranian facilities that he asserted served as bases for UAV operations, noting that “most of the drone attacks that we’ve seen so far have been from southern and south-eastern Iran against targets at sea”. On the nuclear issue, Gantz maintained: “a diplomatic solution is preferable, but alongside that we need to have on the table the use of force… Sometimes the use of force, and a demonstration of it, is able to prevent the need for a stronger use of force”.
