Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a warning during a visit to an Israeli airbase, stating that Israel is gearing up for potential scenarios in locations other than Gaza. This comes amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East, fueled by concerns of an imminent attack by Iran on US or Israeli assets in the region.
US officials have raised alarms about the possibility of Iran carrying out an attack, with Iran pointing fingers at Israel for a recent assault on its consulate in Syria that resulted in the deaths of commanders from its elite Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Netanyahu emphasized Israel's readiness to address challenges beyond Gaza while maintaining a strong stance in the ongoing conflict and efforts to secure the release of hostages. He outlined a clear strategy, stating, 'Whoever harms us, we will harm them,' underscoring Israel's commitment to meeting its security needs both defensively and offensively.
During his visit to the Tel Nof Air Base, located south of Tel Aviv, Netanyahu engaged with Israeli air force personnel and was briefed on Israel's activities in Gaza by the deputy base commander and squadron commander.
Israel's proactive approach in preparing for potential threats underscores the gravity of the situation in the region and the importance of maintaining a robust defense posture. As tensions continue to simmer, Israel remains vigilant and poised to respond decisively to any security challenges that may arise.
