IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi warns that if Iran again launches ballistic missiles at Israel, then the military will respond using “abilities we didn’t use” in the strikes last week.
“If Iran makes the mistake and launches another barrage of missiles at Israel, we will once again know how to reach Iran, reach even with capabilities that we did not use this time, and hit very, very hard both the capabilities and places that we spared this time,” he says to aircrews at the Ramon Air Base in southern Israel.
“We did this for a very simple reason — because we may be required to do it again. We didn’t finish this event, we are right in the middle of it,” Halevi adds.
