Defense Minister Israel Katz released separate statement praising Israel’s achievements during Operation Rising Lion as a historic turning point in Israel’s defense against Iran’s most dangerous threats.

Axar.az informs, citing Times of Israel, Katz hails the operation as a strategic triumph.

“The IDF achieved remarkable successes in thwarting Iran’s nuclear program and missile production system — the two threats that posed the greatest danger to Israel,” Katz says.

“The IDF must prepare both intelligence-wise and operationally to ensure air superiority over Tehran and to prevent Iran from rebuilding its capabilities,” he adds.
