“Like an Arrow to the Heart”: Netanyahu Applauds IDF for Crippling Iran’s War Plot, Vows to Finish the Job Against Hamas
In a dramatic and defiant visit to the IDF Intelligence Directorate, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a thunderous message: Israel’s preemptive strike under Operation “Am Kalavi” in Iran was a historic blow—one that forced Iran’s regional war plans off the table, at least for now.
Flanked by Major General Shlomi Binder, head of IDF Military Intelligence, Netanyahu met with commanders and soldiers, expressing his admiration for the “focus, quality, and depth” of the intelligence that guided the multi-branch mission.
“What you delivered was simply astounding,” Netanyahu declared. “The intelligence gave me and the Cabinet tremendous confidence. This was a strategic achievement of historic proportions.”
🎯 “There Is No Axis”: Iran’s Plan Crushed
Netanyahu stated unequivocally that the result of the covert operation was a crippling blow to Iran’s ambitions:
“What they saw in Iran was this: there is no axis. Their plan to destroy Israel has been dismantled—at least for now.”
He attributed the success to unprecedented integration between political, military, and intelligence branches, calling the precision and repetition of the strikes “like arrows that struck dead center, again and again.”
⚔️ Two Missions Remain: Hamas and Hostages
While celebrating the success against Iran, Netanyahu made it clear that Israel’s mission is far from over.
“We still have work to do: to eliminate Hamas, and to bring our hostages home. These are intertwined missions,” he said, framing them as national imperatives.
He also emphasized that Israel must sustain the momentum, ensuring its preparedness to counter future nuclear and ballistic threats.
🛡️ “Ensuring the Eternity of Israel”
In a closing note of gratitude and resilience, the Prime Minister saluted the Intelligence Directorate:
“You’ve played a monumental role in Israel’s defense. I thank you on behalf of the nation. May your brilliance continue to ensure the eternity of Israel.”
Netanyahu’s remarks sent a clear message to allies and enemies alike: Israel is not only ready, but capable, of dismantling existential threats before they strike.
