This is just the beginning: New threats are coming

"Israel's direct and precise attacks on Iranian territory and key military and security industry facilities is important not only in itself but also because of the manner in which it was carried out," Gantz, the former chief of the Israeli army's (IDF) chief of staff, posted on his X account.

The attack marked the beginning of a new stage in the war against the Iranian regime and that it paves the way for future operations, the Times of Israel reports.

Gantz said that "the campaign is far from over" and noted that Israel must continue to persevere in its efforts to return the hostages captured by Hamas.

"We must remove the Hamas regime, continue to degrade Hezbollah's capabilities, and create a new reality on our northern border that will allow our citizens to return home and live safely," Gantz said.

The Israeli army attacked Iran last night, and during the attack, which lasted for five hours, 20 targets in that country were targeted, and four Iranian soldiers were killed.
