Netanyahu Warns Iran Against Attacking Israel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stern warning to Iran on Wednesday, stating that any decision by Tehran to attack Israel would be one of their last. Speaking during a visit to a Hesder Yeshiva in Ofakim, Netanyahu asserted that Iran already understands the severe consequences of attacking Israel, which is why they refrain from doing so directly.

"If they choose to attack us, they know that will be one of their last decisions," Netanyahu declared. He also addressed the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip, claiming that Israel has fundamentally altered the security landscape in the region. "We control a large area in the Strip and act against those who threaten us. Just yesterday we took out the head of Hamas's security, and no one is raising their head in Gaza," he stated.

Netanyahu highlighted the elimination of numerous senior Hamas and Hezbollah figures since October 7th, including Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif, Ismail Haniyeh, Mohammed Sinwar, Hassan Nasrallah, and Izz al-Din al-Haddad. "We are changing the reality around us and removing threats to the State of Israel one by one," he added, emphasizing the ongoing efforts to secure the nation.

Earlier in his remarks, Netanyahu praised the students of Hesder Yeshivas for their participation in the fighting, calling them an "example and model of combining Torah and sword, of devotion, sacrifice, and heroism." He commended their bravery since the war's outset, stating, "From the first day of the war, you and your friends have fought heroically for the people of Israel and the State of Israel, and I salute you in the name of the entire people of Israel."
