We promised to respond to the Iranian attack and on Saturday we struck. The attack in Iran was precise and powerful, he says during a speech on Sunday.
The Israeli attack on Iran, which among other things targeted weapon factories, was a response to Iran's attack on Israel on October 1. Two Iranian soldiers were killed in Saturday's attack.
Iran attacked Israel with hundreds of ballistic missiles and that attack failed, says Netanyahu during the speech, which is held on the occasion of the Jewish calendar's anniversary of the October 7 attack.
We kept our promise. The air force attacked Iran and knocked out Iran's defense capabilities and missile production, he claims.
