After the situation assessment with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and war cabinet minister Benny Gantz, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says that Israel has succeeded in stemming the main Iranian attack.
At the same time, he warns that “the campaign still hasn’t ended. We must be vigilant and attentive to IDF Home Front Command instructions, and to prepare for every scenario.”
“Israel withstood an attack tonight by hundreds of missiles and drones, and the IDF halted the attack impressively,” he says, praising the cooperating with the US and other partners.
He says that the whole world saw Iran for what it is, “a terrorist state that attacks Israel from a distance of 1,500 kilometers and tries to activate all its proxies.”
