The IDF Chief of Staff told special air force units their recent operations are unprecedented and mostly classified. This is a rare public acknowledgment of covert activity, signaling that Israel is comfortable hinting at operational depth without revealing specifics. The visit to Palmachim and the language about operating farther than ever suggest these missions involved long-range strikes or intelligence gathering. Watch for whether this signals a shift in Israel's willingness to telegraph capability to adversaries.
