IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi following the Israeli Air Force strikes on the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, some 1,800 kilometers away, says Israel can reach even farther away enemies.
“We know how to reach very far, we know how to reach even farther, and we know how to strike there accurately,” Halevi says during a meeting with senior officers, amid the strike in Yemen.
“This isn’t a message, it’s an action,” he adds.
