Israel Katz

Defense Minister Israel Katz hails “Operation Rising Lion” as a milestone in thwarting Tehran’s nuclear and missile threats.
“There is no other army like this in the world,” said Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz during a tour of the southern Gaza city.
“Those who commit acts of violence against security forces must be dealt with to the fullest extent,” Defense Minister Israel Katz said.
Roi Mizrahi and Almog Atias allegedly planted an explosive near the home of the Israeli defense minister.
IDF chief Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said the damage inflicted on the Islamic Republic will help advance Israel’s war objectives against Hamas.
The move comes after reports that the terrorist group is again diverting humanitarian supplies from civilians.
The measure strikes the Islamic Republic “where it hurts most—its financial lifelines,” said Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz.
In a call with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the Israeli Defense Minister thanked him for U.S. President Donald Trump’s “bold decision to act with Israel against the Iranian nuclear threat.”
“This is in addition to continued targeting of facilities and scientists to thwart Iran’s nuclear program,” the Israeli defense minister said.
“I advise the Lebanese proxy to be cautious and understand that Israel has lost patience with terrorists who threaten it,” Defense Minister Katz said.
“We are not engaged in any negotiations, and we will not allow harm to Israeli citizens,” said Katz during a visit to the site of an Iranian missile impact in the coastal city of Herzliya.
“The Israeli Air Force controls the skies over Tehran. This is a game-changer in the entire campaign,” the prime minister declared.
