Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Tuesday that his directive to the IDF, Mossad, and security agencies is to work towards the overthrow of the Iranian regime. Speaking at a ceremony for graduating officers at Bahad 1, Netanyahu stated that Iran, under "tyrant" Mujtaba Khamenei, is attempting to develop "death bombs" and has not learned its lesson. He asserted that the only way to permanently remove this threat is to topple the regime in Tehran.
Defense Minister Israel Katz echoed these sentiments, warning Iran and its proxies against attempting attacks that could influence Israeli elections. Katz described the Iranian regime as being at its weakest point, which could lead it to take "extreme measures" against Israel. He issued a clear message: "If Iran attacks Israel, Iran will burn!" Katz added that anyone attacking Israel, before or after the elections, or harming soldiers or civilians, would pay a heavy price.
Katz also discussed Israel's security operations, mentioning a recent visit to Lebanon to bolster troops operating in security zones in Lebanon and Syria. He reiterated that Israel will not withdraw from these zones and that Hezbollah would face severe consequences if it joined Iran in an attack. Katz outlined plans to expand Israel's security zone in southern Lebanon, potentially encompassing areas up to the Awali and Zahrani rivers, which would involve the evacuation of Shiite populations northwards to enable strikes against terror infrastructure and mitigate drone threats to northern Israel. He also mentioned the potential evacuation of Beirut's Dahieh district and strikes on its terror infrastructure, which could displace over a million Shiites.
Regarding the Gaza Strip, Katz stated that the IDF controls approximately 70% of the territory, cleared of residents and terror infrastructure, to protect Israeli communities. He reported that daily operations are eliminating terrorists involved in the October 7th attacks, with 4,000 already killed and an additional 2,000 targeted for elimination.
