IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin says the military continues to strike in Iran.
“We are in the midst of the operation, continuing to strike in Iran and remain ready on the defense,” Defrin says in a press conference.
He says, “we cannot be complacent.”
“We are aware of the enemy’s intentions to harm us, and there will be more attempts of this kind. We still have challenges ahead,” Defrin says.
Asked how long Israel’s airspace will remain closed, Defrin says, “We are in a ongoing war, and prepared for many days of a campaign.”
