Defense Minister Israel Katz held a high-level assessment with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, Mossad Director David Barnea, and senior military leadership.
During the briefing, Katz stated:
• “The people of Israel are proud of you.”
• He instructed forces to “peel away” Iran’s nuclear program, air defenses, missiles, and regime targets.
• He accused Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei of “turning Tehran into Beirut and its residents into hostages.”
The remarks reflect Israel’s intent to sustain operations deep inside Iranian territory.
