Attached are the full remarks of the Chief of the General Staff:
“Look, in short, Iran wanted to harm the strategic capabilities of the State of Israel, which is something that has not happened in the past. We prepared in Operation ‘Iron Shield’, and this readiness brought Iran to encounter aerial superiority that you displayed very well.
Last Monday, we saw what was being organized, and we think that the State of Israel is very strong and knows how to cope on its own, but with such a widespread and distant threat, we are always happy to have support, and I tell you, there was a phone call to the Commander of the United States Central Command, General Kurilla, last Monday, and by Thursday morning he had already landed in Israel. We started joint coordination. There is something in this statement – Iran is encountering here a very very strong international capability.
Look, as we look forward, we weigh our steps, and this launch of so many missiles, cruise missiles, UAVs to the territory of the State of Israel will be met with a response.
To sum up this visit, excellent people are conducting excellent processes and achieving excellent results. It is very very significant. I think you are very well prepared and I trust this capability very much going forward for what will be required.”

Attached are the full remarks of the Chief of the General Staff:
“Over the weekend, Iran launched a large-scale attack on Israel. Over 350 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, armed drones and rockets were fired from Iranian soil — as well as Iraq, Yemen and Lebanon — towards the State of Israel.
Across the skies of the Middle East — a coalition was activated to counter this attack —
Marking the start of the IDF’s Operation: ‘Iron Shield’.
The Israel Defense Forces — together with the United States Central Command; the British Armed Forces; the French Armed Forces, and other partners — operated together in real-time — in the air, on the ground and at sea.
Defense systems were activated; the threats were intercepted — and Iran’s attack on Israel failed. Operation Iron Shield proved the strength of our iron-clad cooperation.
I want to thank all our international partners who stood up to Iran’s aggression. Iran’s attack has created new opportunities for cooperation in the Middle East.
We are closely assessing the situation.
We remain at our highest-level of readiness.
Iran will face the consequences for its actions.
We will choose our response accordingly.
The IDF remains ready to counter any threat from Iran and its terror proxies as we continue our mission to defend the State of Israel.”
