During a first meeting with the IDF General Staff Forum, Defense Minister Israel Katz says that Iran’s nuclear sites are more vulnerable than ever, following Israel’s airstrikes on its air defense sites.
“Iran today is more exposed than ever to damage to its nuclear facilities. There is a possibility to achieve the most important goal, to thwart and remove the threat of annihilation from hanging over the State of Israel,” Katz says during the meeting, in remarks provided by his office.
On Lebanon, Katz says that “there will be no ceasefire and there will be no respite [for Hezbollah] until the goals of the war are achieved.”
On the Gaza Strip, the new defense minister says the most important goal is returning the hostages. “We will do everything to bring them home and ensure the defeat of Hamas,” he adds.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
