Prime Minister Netanyahu Declares Intent to Defeat Iran and Secure Borders During Visit to Mount Hermon
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during a visit to Mount Hermon near the Syrian border, declared Israel's intention to prevent any armed group, described as terrorist, from establishing itself near its borders. He asserted that Israel controls the territory from the summit of Mount Hermon to the Yarmouk River and the Mediterranean Sea. Netanyahu also reaffirmed his commitment to defeating the regime in Iran, which he labeled as terrorist, expressing confidence that the Iranian axis would eventually collapse. He was accompanied by Defense Minister Israel Katz and Deputy Chief of the General Staff Major General Tamir Yadai, receiving operational briefings from Northern Command chief Major General Rafi Milo and Commander of the 210th Division Brigadier General Yair Peli. These statements follow assessments by Israeli bodies suggesting Iran is preparing for a large-scale coordinated attack on Israel from multiple directions, involving Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, and pro-Iranian groups in Iraq.
