Netanyahu: Israel will win ‘ongoing campaign’ against Iran
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will be victorious in its “ongoing campaign” against Iran.
In a Hebrew language video posted to his social media accounts, Netanyahu addresses the Israeli raids on Iranian military targets in Syria following Iran’s firing of rockets at the Golan Heights early Thursday.
“I set a basic principle: Whoever hits us, we hit him,” he says. “We’re in an ongoing campaign and we’ll win it.”
Netanyahu also thanks the US, Germany, UK and France for supporting “our right to act and defend ourselves against the Iranian aggression.”
