Amid warnings from the US that Iran is about to launch a ballistic missile attack on Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warns of “days of great challenges” ahead.
“What I ask of you is two things,” says Netanyahu. “One, to strictly obey the directives of the Home Front Command. It saves lives.”
“And second, to stand together,” he continues. “We will stand firm together in the trying days ahead. Together we will stand, together we will fight, and together we will win.”
