Netanyahu visits recruitment center – ‘Iran stands behind Hamas, behind Hezbollah and behind others, but we are determined to win and defend ourselves everywhere’
We strike our enemies without mercy, and we shall win, was his message Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday shortly before the new war council meeting on Israel’s response to the Iranian attack that takes place later in the day. Visiting a recruit center, the Israeli prime minister pointed out that Israel has three targets in Gaza.
Speaking to IDF recruits Netanyahu stated that “the most important thing we have is the spirit. It is the readiness that I see in your eyes, in our commanders, in our army, in our people. I rely on you and support you.”
היום חיבקאתי בבקו״ם את אור-חדש פרץ, בנו של אלירז פרץ ואחין של אוריאל פרץ הי״ד, שמטגייס היום לגולני.
This is our spirit and with it we will defeat all our enemies.

The Israeli prime minister met recruits as they received their equipment, before donning their uniforms. He then spoke with them and answered their questions.
“I talked to some of you. I saw the physical and mental readiness. You have a great honor today: join the IDF, the magnificent ramparts, to repel a brutal enemy, the monsters that attacked us. We also beat them mercilessly and we will defeat them” he said characteristically.

“Do you want to win? Are you ready to fight? This is exactly what is needed. Good friends have fallen (in battle) in this campaign. They fell for us to get this victory. There are three goals: First – the elimination of Hamas. Second – to return the hostages. And third – to ensure that Hamas will never again pose a threat to Israel,” he pointed out.
“This is part of a bigger campaign, you see that. Iran stands behind Hamas, behind Hezbollah and behind others, but we are determined to win and defend ourselves everywhere.”
“The most important thing is the spirit. It is the readiness that I see in your eyes, in our commanders, in our army, in our people, and I rely on you. I count on you and stand by you. I remember, I was here a few years ago. It is the same spirit that goes on before us and after us, that goes on with you, and with God’s help, together we will overcome. This is the most important thing to remember. Your friends, some of whom you just met, are with you, we are all in this together, and together we will win. Look after each other and look after the country… together we will win” noted the Israeli prime minister.
It is noted that Israel is committed to responding to the Iranian mass attack, and is weighing its options on what to do.
Another “step” for Jerusalem’s response to Tehran’s attack allegedly did by Benjamin Netanyahu after Monday’s Council of War meeting, with the next step still to be imagined “meteor”as everyone accepts that the Israeli “response” is only a matter of time, but no one knows whether strikes on Iranian soil will ultimately be chosen which they will lead the situation out of control.
The US believes that the Israeli response to Iran’s unprecedented attack is likely to be limited; and may focus on striking key targets outside Iran, four US officials said in the NBC.
The Iranian president Ibrahim Raisi warned on Tuesday that “and the slightest action against Iran’s interests will be met with a severe, far-reaching and painful response against all perpetrators”. At the same time, Iranian television and social networks have been “flooded” with footage of Iranian exercises, or by military operations of Tehran’s “satellites” such as Hezbollah and the Houthis.
