"Iran is the root of the hostility and aggression against the State of Israel. The war is in multiple zones even though its strength is focused on Gaza," he said.
"In the north: since the beginning of the war, Hezbollah has fired over 1,000 weapons against Israeli targets but is suffering far more significant hits. We thwart firing squads and hit military assets and targets, Hezbollah pays a heavy price every day. In addition, there are many attempts in Judea and Samaria to carry out attacks against Israelis that are thwarted every day by the IDF and the Shin Bet.
"In recent days, the security forces have identified a growing tendency of Iran to intensify the attacks of the militias against Israel through the proxies in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. We are monitoring the situation and will know how to act at the appropriate time, place, and intensity."
