Israel's war cabinet minister, Benny Gantz, has issued a strong statement in response to the recent Iranian drone and missile attack on Israel. Gantz emphasized that Israel will take action to 'exact a price from Iran in a way and time that suits us.'
Gantz commended the Israeli security system for effectively countering the assault, which resulted in minimal damage despite the significant threat posed by hundreds of projectiles launched by Iran.
Highlighting the global support for Israel in the face of danger, Gantz stated that 'the world clearly stood together with Israel' during this challenging time. However, he cautioned that the situation is far from resolved and emphasized the importance of forming a regional coalition to address the ongoing threats posed by Iran.
In addition to addressing the immediate security concerns, Gantz also underscored the need to prioritize the safe return of hostages held by hostile groups. He emphasized the importance of securing both the southern and northern borders of Israel to facilitate the return of residents who had evacuated their homes due to the heightened security risks.
As tensions continue to escalate in the region, Israel remains vigilant and determined to safeguard its borders and protect its citizens. The government's commitment to ensuring the safety and security of the nation remains unwavering as it navigates the complex geopolitical challenges posed by hostile actors.
