The Israeli military says its actions against Iran are "halfway done."
Xinhua News Agency, Jerusalem, March 21 (Reporter Pang Xinyi, Feng Guorui) - The Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Aviv Kochavi, stated on the 21st that the large-scale military operation launched by Israel in conjunction with the United States against Iran "is halfway through."
Kochavi said that in the three weeks since the military operation began, the Israeli military has caused "extensive weakening" of Iran, gradually accumulating systematic achievements at the "military, economic, and governmental levels." He noted that Iran's current situation is more dangerous, as it "lacks effective air defense capabilities." Kochavi stated, "We are halfway through, but the direction is very clear... We will continue to fight for our freedom and future."
Kochavi also mentioned that he approved the plan for the IDF Northern Command to maintain a "forward defense posture," with the military taking proactive and preemptive actions to eliminate targets that "pose a threat" to Israeli civilians. (End)
