Israel will continue to hit Iran hard, says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a video statement released shortly after the end of the Jewish Sabbath.
“After we destroyed 70 percent of its ability to create steel, which is used as the raw material for the weapons used against us,” says Netanyahu, “today we attacked their petrochemical factories.”
“These two things are their money machine, which funds their war of terror against us and against the world.”
“We will continue to hit them, as I promised,” he concludes.
