| [IsraelTimes] Defense Minister Israel Katz says the defense establishment is “closely monitoring” the developments in Iran, amid reports that Israel is increasingly concerned that Tehran is rebuilding and expanding its ballistic missile production. “I read the reports about Iran, which we struck heavily, together with our American partners, during Operation Rising Lion,” Katz says at a pilots’ graduation ceremony, referring to June’s 12-day war. “The defense establishment is closely monitoring developments, and naturally, I cannot elaborate beyond that. But on one principle there is no dispute: what was before October 7 will not be again. We will not allow threats of annihilation against the State of Israel,” Katz adds. |
