IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin vows that the military will continue to hunt down Iranian leaders, following the killing of IRGC Navy chief Alireza Tangsiri in Bandar Abbas overnight.
“The eliminations will not stop; we will continue to pursue anyone who threatens Israel,” he says.
Defrin says the military has hit more than 1,000 targets of Iran’s weapon production industries so far amid the war.
“We are talking about the factories that produce the missiles, the drones and defense systems,” he says in a press conference.
Defrin says the IDF is striking “all assets of the weapons [industries]. We will also reach the sub-contractors.”
“In the coming days, we will deepen the achievement and distance this threat for a long time,” he adds.
