Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on world leaders to join the Operation Roaring Lion, aka Epic Fury against Iran, as he and numerous other Israeli officials visited the impact site of an Iranian missile attack in the southern city of Arad on Sunday.
“They have the capacity to reach deep into Europe,” Netanyahu warned. “They are putting everyone in their sights.”
“If you want proof that Iran endangers the entire world,the last 48 hours have proved it,” he said. “They fired on Jerusalem right next to the holy sites of the three monotheistic faiths.”
“It’s time to see the leaders of the rest of the countries join up,” Netanyahu pointed out. “I’m happy to see that some of them are moving in that direction, but more is needed.”
The Iranian missile attack on Saturday wounded dozens of people and caused serious destruction to the area in Arad.
“We’re responding with great force, but [we are] not [going] after civilians,” Netanyahu said when asked by the press what Israel’s actions would be in response to the attacks from the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The prime minister said it was “a miracle” that no one was killed in the missile attack on Arad.
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, too, spoke at the site, saying that the hit was clearly a war crime. “The Iranian regime is launching missiles at civilians as a strategy. This is a strategy of war crimes,” he said.
“We had here, actually, a miracle. Seeing the destruction all around, the number of casualties was relatively low,” Sa’ar noted. “All of these attacks have no military meaning or significance whatsoever. The sole purpose, the only objective, is to harm as many civilians as possible,” he said.
Defense Minister Israel Katz said that Israel would continue hitting Iran hard if the attacks persisted.
When asked by the press at the scene whether the war would continue until after the Pessah, he responded that, “Unfortunately, war is not determined by the Jewish calendar.”
“Every day that passes, Iran’s capabilities are being weakened, whether by eliminating another terrorist leader, striking their launch capabilities, or dismantling Iran’s military industry,” Katz explained.
Standing there, former prime minister Naftali Bennett said there that the Islamic regime in Iran had lied about its nuclear program. He also warned that it was a threat to Europe.
“Just as they lied about the missiles, so too they lied about the nuclear issue. If we had not acted now, within a short time all of Europe would have been under an Iranian nuclear umbrella,” Bennett said.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid said that the site in Arad was “a difficult scene that shows the work is not yet finished. Iran has ballistic missiles and the capability to strike Israeli civilians.”

Displaying weakness. Help! Not a good look. Trump might be looking for an off ramp. His personality does not take losing well. Turkey is probably salivating, Russia is benefiting and now challenging posturing in Cuban waters. What comes next? Desperate people do desperate things. False flag destruction of Temple Mount?
