Katz: A “heavy blow” will be dealt to the country

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened that if Iran attacks Israel, it will be dealt a “heavy blow”.
“Elchi” reports that in an interview with Israel’s Channel 14, Katz commented on current events and tensions with Iran.
Targeting Iran directly, Katz said, “If Iran attacks Israel, it will receive a devastating blow, and they know it very well.”
Claiming that local media ignores “military successes,” Katz stated that the government will continue to share the results with the public.
These “successes” included the killing of Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other high-ranking Iranian officials.
The report also notes that Israeli security officials reacted negatively to US President Donald Trump’s decision to cancel a planned comprehensive military operation against Iran. Israeli media raised the possibility of a large-scale US attack on Iran, and it was reported that Israel had raised its defense alert level to the highest level. On July 31, Trump stated that the US would “deal very hard blows until Iran cannot resist” and claimed that the ongoing process was “going very well” for the US.
