Speaking after Israel’s reprisal strikes on Iran early yesterday, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi says the military used “only some” of its abilities.

“Our message is a very clear message, and it is connected to the things that have happened across the Middle East in recent months. We know how to reach and hit any threat, in any place, at any time,” Halevi says during an assessment yesterday, in a video just released by the IDF.

“We drew upon only some of our abilities. We have the ability to do much more. We hit strategic systems in Iran… and we will see how things develop now. We are ready for all scenarios on all fronts,” he adds.
