Israel is "ahead of schedule" in its military operation against Iran, surpassing previous expectations and set for future victory, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday night.
Netanyahu claimed that Israel has destroyed at least half of Iran's missile launchers, killed important military figures, is pursuing paramilitary groups, and will strike all of Iran's nuclear sites, including the heavily fortified Fordo nuclear facility, in a rare interview in Hebrew with the Kan public broadcaster.
Nearly a week after Israel began what it claims is a preventive campaign to neutralize an existential nuclear threat from Iran, the prime declared, "We are ahead of the schedule we set, both in terms of timing and results."
When a series of IDF operations left Iran's most powerful proxy, Hezbollah, "on its knees" at the end of last year and it became evident that Iran "was racing toward a nuclear capability," Netanyahu added, "the work has been outstanding."
Israel's victories over the Hamas terrorist organization and the removal of [former Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah "broke the Iranian axis." What remains of [Iran]? The prime minister continued, "This operation has been planned for many months.
The IDF had reported that about 40% of the launchers had been destroyed the day before.
