IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi visited Ramon Air Base today (Tuesday), where he briefly spoke for the public about the IDF's readiness vis-a-vis Iran.
There, Halevi said that if Iran made the "mistake" of hitting Israel with a ballistic missile barrage in retaliation for the IDF's strike against Iranian military facilities, Israel will know to hit Iran harder in all sorts of areas which the IDF left alone until now.
Halevi said that the IDF held back on using certain capabilities and hitting certain places "for a very simple reason" - "that we may need to do this again." "We have not finished this event," he said, in reference to the struggle against Iran, "we are very much in the thick of it."
