The military establishment issued a fierce response to the evening's missile attacks, stating that the Iranian leadership will face severe consequences for choosing the path of terror. IDF Spokesperson Brigadier General Efi Defrin delivered a live televised statement following the missile strikes, confirming that the air defense arrays remain fully deployed and operational across the country. Defrin asserted that the Iranian terror regime made a grave mistake when it chose once again to utilize terror against sovereign territory.

The military command emphasized that the Iranian regime is actively trying to manufacture a new strategic equation in the region, a development that Israel will not allow to happen. Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir is currently taking part in an emergency security meeting to approve operational plans for the next phases of the war.

In response to the continuous firing by Hezbollah terrorists toward northern border communities, the air force has intensified its precision strikes in the Dahiyeh district of Beirut. Defrin made it clear that the military will not tolerate ongoing threats against civilian populations and will continue to dismantle terrorist infrastructure.

The IDF noted that the air force will not hesitate to strike any location necessary to eliminate immediate threats to the state. With new tactical plans authorized by Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, the military is positioned for an extended confrontation if regional actors refuse to back down.
