“In recent days, we have identified attempts by our enemies, foremost among them Iran and its proxies, to carry out terror attacks that would affect the results of the elections in Israel,” Katz remarked.
Furthermore, Katz noted that “the Iranian regime is at its weakest point ever, and we identify that this weakness could lead it to take the most extreme measures, including against the State of Israel.”
“Our message to the Iranian regime is clear, we are identifying your attempts, we are prepared to thwart them, and we are ready to strike you with full force,” he continued, emphasising, “If Iran attacks Israel, Iran will burn!”
Meanwhile, addressing the graduating officers, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir underscored that safeguarding the nation remains a collective obligation amid ongoing military initiatives aimed at incorporating personnel from the ultra-Orthodox sector into service.
“The mission of defending the State of Israel is shared by all of us and is greater than any disagreement. The IDF is the people’s army, and unity within it is essential to its strength,” Zamir stated. (ANI)
