IDF chief Aviv Kohavi has issued a threat against Iran while meeting top army officials near the frontier with Syria.
“Our message is unequivocal: We will continue to act with as much strength as is required against Iranian entrenchment in Syria, and will continue to maintain full readiness against any show of aggressiveness toward us,” he says.
The visit comes amid increased tensions on the border following a reported uptick in airstrikes against Iran in Syria attributed to Israel, and as the country braces for possible retaliation for the killing of Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, which has been blamed on Israel.
While he does not mention the death of a man which Israel has called the “father” of Iran’s nuclear program, he does bring up a recent Israeli strike in Syria against Iranian forces, which followed the discovery of bombs placed on the border, which Israel has blamed on Tehran.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
