Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi has issued a strong warning regarding a potential retaliatory attack on Iran, emphasizing Israel's capability to strike any target in the Middle East. During a visit to the Tel Nof Air Base, Halevi stated that Israel possesses the means to identify and target significant locations, and will respond to any attack from Iran with precise and powerful strikes.
Halevi emphasized Israel's extensive reach, stating, 'We have the capabilities to reach and strike any point in the Middle East. And those of our enemies who have not yet understood this, will soon understand.' Despite the ongoing celebrations of the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, Halevi highlighted that the Israeli military remains active and engaged on all fronts.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu echoed similar sentiments following Tuesday's missile strikes from Iran, vowing that Tehran will face consequences for its actions. Netanyahu criticized Iran for underestimating Israel's resolve to retaliate against its adversaries and pledged a forceful response.
These recent statements align with Netanyahu's previous remarks following an Israeli airstrike that targeted Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, in Beirut. Netanyahu asserted, 'There is no place in Iran or the Middle East that the long arm of Israel will not reach.'
