Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a stark warning, describing Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei as a “modern Hitler” who “should no longer continue to exist,” following Iranian missile strikes that hit the Soroka Medical Center and injured around 240 people. Katz emphasized the IDF’s readiness to neutralize such existential threats and signaled escalated attacks on Iran’s military and nuclear infrastructure.

Israel confirmed carrying out intensified airstrikes on Iran—including the Arak heavy water reactor, Natanz, and other strategic sites—aimed at undermining the regime and obstructing the nuclear program.

Prime Minister Netanyahu warned that Israel will strike “every site of the Ayatollah regime” if provoked.
