MADRID 18 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reported this Monday in a parliamentary appearance that in the latest wave of Israeli attacks on Iran, a component of the Iranian nuclear program was bombed.
“It is no secret. An element of the nuclear program was attacked in this offensive,” Netanyahu said in his statement, reported by the Israeli newspaper ‘Yedioth Aharonoth’.
“Our attack affected the missiles of the Shiite axis. Iran can respond at any time, even right now, but this attack brings us closer to the objective,” he explained.
Netanyahu has warned that if Iran manages to acquire nuclear weapons “all our achievements will collapse.” “It is a great threat to our existence, to peace agreements, to world peace. We are on trial to thwart nuclear Iran,” he argued.
Israeli aviation killed four soldiers and a civilian on October 26 in bombings in response to the Iranian shell attack on October 1, in which nearly 180 ballistic missiles were fired.
The Iranian attacks on Israel were described by Tehran as a response to the deaths of several leaders of armed groups allied to Tehran in the region. The Israeli Army confirmed that several of its air bases were hit, although it denied significant damage and refused to give details on the percentage of interceptions.
Furthermore, Netanyahu has promised that “we will bring back dozens of hostages in the near future.” “The strategy is one of victory and includes the release of the hostages. We are going to achieve it as well. We are going to rescue dozens more kidnapped people and I hope it will be in the near future,” he noted.
However, the Arab-Israeli deputy Aiman Odé has accused Netanyahu of being a “serial killer of peace”, which has caused the president of the Knesset, Amir Ohana, to order his expulsion from the plenary session. Several deputies have yelled at him “go away.”
