IDF: Ability to attack Iran greatly improved from two prior ops
PM Benjamin Netanyahu:
Today we wrote another exciting chapter in the history of the State of Israel: the opening of the Paraguayan embassy in Jerusalem, our eternal capital.
In a solemn ceremony, together with Paraguayan President Santiago Penia, I insisted that Jerusalem is and always will be the undivided capital of Israel. I thanked President Penia for his recognition of this fact and his courageous decision to open the embassy in Jerusalem.
This moment symbolizes the depth of friendship between the peoples and the recognition of the historical truth of Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish people for 3,000 years. Like the Jewish people, Paraguay also faced tremendous challenges and maintained hope, faith and the desire to build a better future.
Thank you to President Penia and the Paraguayan people for the partnership, friendship and respect. Together, we will build a future of prosperity and shared values.

Kirby: "Hamas is currently without leadership, and its options are not good. Its members have been badly hit and Iran has not come to their rescue - no one has come to their rescue. There is a lot of pressure and given their weakness, it is time to reach a deal."
An Air Force aircraft attacked earlier today a number of terrorists from the Hezbollah terrorist organization who were operating in southern Lebanon and violated the agreement between Israel and Lebanon.
I am so darn proud of Israel right now. I am so proud to be a part of this remarkable country right now. ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฑ
I donโt care what your political opinions are. I donโt care what you think of Netanyahu and his government. I could not care less.
What Israel has pulled off in this past week is nothing short of spectacular, and almost no one understands the extent of it.
Forget military capabilities. Forget F16s and F35s. Forget Merkava tanks and military intelligence. Forget all of it.
Without strategy, none of that can win a war. And the strategy of the IDF in this war, and especially this past week is unprecedented, historic, and monumental.
Israelโs strategy in this war and specifically as it pertains to Assad falling and Syria is mind blowing.
Hear me out.
What is Israelโs ultimate goal now? Who is Israelโs primary target?
Iran, and specifically Iranโs nuclear facilities, right?
So first, we take out all of Iranโs proxies. Then we eliminate Iranโs aerial defense systems.
But we still had a problem. Syria.
Flying through Syriaโs airspace was risky and dangerous.
Why?
Syrian Air Defense Array (SADA), which was considered to be amongst the most advanced/dense in the world (with modern Russian systems), was quietly but efficiently destroyed by the IDF over the past few days. SADA had fired hundreds of missiles at Israeli aircraft over the past few years and has been a massive issue for Israeli aircraft and missiles entering into Syrian airspace.
The IAF has put focus on two specific systems, the Russian SA-18 โBukโ and the SA-22 โPantsirโ which are both responsible for shooting down a number of Israeli missiles and munitions over Syria in the past few years. Since Assadโs fall, the IAF can now report that they have destroyed at least 80% of the SA-18 systems, and a whopping 86% of the SA-22 systems. In addition, 90% of the Syrian inventory of the MiG-29 and 80% of their Sukhoi-24 were also destroyed (representing 61% of the Syrian Air Forceโs strike aircraft).
According to estimates, 86% of Syriaโs air defense systems (SAM) have been destroyed. This marks a significant shift, as Syria, once a major threat to Israeli Air Force (IAF) planes due to its dense anti-aircraft missile systems, now poses far less of an aerial threat, making Syrian airspace considerably safer and more accessible for flights.
The IAF has struck over 500 targets using over 1,800 munitions in the past few days, and these choices were deliberate. The systems targeted (and now destroyed) are the most advanced ones and ones that pose the most threat to Israeli strike aircraft using Syrian airspace to carry out their most important mission since 1948 โ the destruction of Iranโs nuclear program.
Additionally, 90% of Syriaโs MiG-29 aircraft and approximately 80% of its Sukhoi-24 planes have also been destroyed, resulting in an overall 61% reduction in the Syrian Air Forceโs operational capacity.
So, it turns out that Israel wasnโt just indiscriminately bombarding Syria to prevent Asaadโs weapons from getting into the hands of the rebels.
The IDF, per the political leadershipโs orders, was very deliberate and strategic about what it was attacking and destroying.
Israel has now removed any and all obstacles that would have posed a threat in a possible attack on Iranโs nuclear facilities.
Iran has no aerial defense systems. Hezbollah is mostly a thing of the past. Hamas is done. Syria canโt stop Israel from flying through its airspace anymore.
Now all thatโs left to do is decide when Israel attacks Iran. Not if, when!
Following the IDFโs unprecedented attacks on the remainder of Assadโs military forces, the IDF has conducted an assessment and now believes that there is an opportunity to attack Iranโs nuclear facilities.
The IDF, in conjunction with the Mossad, is now carrying out what is described as a โpreparationโ process in order to present the political echelon with a viable plan for an attack on the Iranian nuclear facilities.
