The chief of the Military Intelligence Directorate, Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder, tells officers today that they’ll soon “break ground” in other areas of Iran, after the IDF “paved the way to Tehran.”
“You brought the intelligence that paved the way to Tehran and enabled the strike on the Iranian general staff. Soon, you’ll break ground in additional areas. You’ve proven that you can push boundaries and reach any target,” Binder is cited as saying in an IDF statement.
“Always remember that we are not fighting in just one arena. We’re fighting Iran, but our eyes are also on our hostages in Gaza and the various threats facing the soldiers on the frontlines and civilians on the home front,” he adds.
