Israel readied to mark 70 years since the country's creation on Wednesday, celebrating its improbable economic success and military prowess but facing a range of political and security challenges.
Last week, that same base was attacked in an airstrike that Syria, Iran and Russian Federation all blamed on Israel.
"We don't hesitate to confront those who want to eradicate us, because we know that defending ourselves with our own force is the essence of independence", said Netanyahu.
Israel has refused to confirm or deny the strike, though satellite photographs were distributed this week through Israeli media purporting to show Iranian drones at airfields in Syria. The Israelis have not commented on the strike, which killed at least four Iranian military personnel, but Iran has vowed revenge.
Netanyahu doubled down on his defiant statement at an Independence Day celebration ceremony Wednesday night, saying Israel is "not deterred from a struggle against those who strive for our annihilation".

Netanyahu also thanked U.S. President Trump for its decision of recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Sirens wailed at 8 p.m. across the country, prompting Israelis to stop in their tracks and stand silently with heads bowed to remember the dead.
People visited cemeteries and attended remembrance ceremonies across the country as radio and television networks broadcast programs about battle and loss and played solemn Hebrew music. Seventy years later, Canada and Israel are united by democratic values and close people-to-people ties.
