[IsraelTimes] Defense Minister Israel Katz and Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir on Friday praised Israel’s achievements during the conflict with Iran, saying the war represented a historic turning point in Israel’s defense against Tehran’s most dangerous threats.
The two released separate statements one day after a joint situational assessment on the matter, with Katz hailing the 12-day conflict as a strategic triumph, saying, “The IDF achieved remarkable successes in thwarting Iran’s nuclear program and missile production system — the two threats that posed the greatest danger to Israel.”
He added: “The IDF must prepare both intelligence-wise and operationally to ensure air superiority over Tehran and to prevent Iran from rebuilding its capabilities.” |
