Israel called his military operation against Iran ‘Rising Lion’drawing the name from a biblical verse that promises a victorious future for a strong Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was photographed on Thursday putting a handwritten note on a slit on the wall of tears, the most sacred Prayer of Judaism, which subsequently indicated the forthcoming attacks on Iran.

Netanyahu’s office posted a photo of the note on Friday “The people will get up like a lion.”

The expression comes from the paragraph 23:24 of the book of numbers (the fourth book of the Old Testament and one of the five books of Pentateraki): “Behold, the people will get up like a big lion and rise like a young lion; they will not rest until they eat from the prey and drink the blood of the killed.”

This verse is part of the first oracle of Balaam, a prophet of the Jews, where it forecasts the power and power of Israel, comparing it with a lion that will not be quiet until he satisfies his hunger.

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei described Israel’s attacks “Satanic”.
