Israel's defense minister made a statement on Wednesday regarding the country's planned strikes on Iran, emphasizing that these actions would showcase Israel's preparation process and military strength to the world.
The decision to strike back at Iran came after a missile barrage by Iran on October 1, which escalated tensions in the region and raised concerns about the possibility of a wider conflict.
During a visit to the Hatzerim airbase, the defense minister, Yoav Gallant, addressed military personnel and reiterated Israel's stance on defending itself against any threats. He stated, 'Anyone who tries to harm us will be harmed — this is also true for Iran.'
A video released by Gallant's office captured his visit to the airbase, where he spoke with military personnel. In the video, Gallant highlighted the importance of demonstrating Israel's strength through its actions. He mentioned, 'In my conversation with them I emphasized — after we attack Iran, everyone will understand your strength, the process of preparation and training — any enemy that tries to harm the State of Israel will pay a heavy price.'
Israel's stance on national security and its readiness to respond to threats from Iran have been a focal point of discussions in the region. The defense minister's comments shed light on Israel's determination to protect its interests and ensure its military capabilities are known and respected.
