A long-scheduled interview with Israel Air Force chief Maj.-Gen. Eliezer Shkedy, timed for the IAF's annual "Air Force Day," happened to coincide with the "Operation Summer Rains" offensive in Gaza, launched after the June 25 killing of two soldiers and the capture of Cpl. Gilad Shalit near Kerem Shalom.
