Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

“Citizens of Israel, in recent years, and even more so in recent weeks, Israel has been preparing for the possibility of a direct attack from Iran.

Our defense systems are deployed, we are prepared for any scenario, both in defense and attack. The State of Israel is strong, the IDF is strong, the public is strong.

We appreciate the US standing by Israel’s side, as well as the support of Great Britain, France and many other countries.

I established a clear principle - whoever hurts us, we hurt him. We will defend ourselves from any threat and we will do so with coolness and determination.

I know that you citizens of Israel are also keeping your cool. I urge you to listen to the directives of the Home Front Command.

Together we will stand, and with God’s help - together we will overcome all our enemies.”
