Earlier today, Israel Defense Forces Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin issued a statement in English addressing both the recent Israeli strikes on Iranian targets and Iran’s ballistic missile attack on Israeli population centers this morning. He emphasized that the IDF is continuing precise, intelligence-driven operations aimed at dismantling Iran’s missile and weapons infrastructure. Defrin also condemned the Iranian missile barrage as a deliberate escalation, calling it a “clear act of aggression against innocent civilians.” He reaffirmed Israel’s commitment to defending its people and warned that further hostile actions by Iran would be met with decisive force.
