Speaking during an assessment at the IDF Home Front Command, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says Israel is working to provide an adequate warning of Iran and Hezbollah’s expected attack on the country.
“The public’s resilience allows us to make the right operational decisions. In the face of the enemy’s attempt to sow fear, we must continue with routine life,” he says in remarks provided by his office.
“We work to give the public a sufficient warning in real time,” Gallant adds.
