Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said during remarks on Friday that Israel and the United States “are continuing to crush the terrorist regime in Iran,” according to a translation from Hebrew.
“Together with our American friends, we are continuing to crush the terrorist regime in Iran. We are eliminating commanders, and bombing bridges and infrastructure,” he said.
“In recent days, the Air Force has destroyed 70% of Iran’s steel production capacity. This is a tremendous achievement that deprives the IRGC of both funding sources and the ability to produce large quantities of weapons,” he noted.
The U.S. and Israel have continued their joint operation against Iran for five weeks.
“In full coordination between myself and President Trump, and between the IDF and the US military, we will continue to crush Iran. This regime is weaker than ever – Israel is stronger than ever,” Netanyahu declared.
“In Lebanon, we are continuing to forcefully strike at Hezbollah. We are continuing to expand the security zone and firmly establish it in order to protect the communities of the North,” he noted.
“I wish to commend you, citizens of Israel, for standing firm and following the Home Front Command instructions, even on Passover Seder night. Continue to do so. Continue to stand firm,” he said. “With G-d’s help, we will continue to fight and we will achieve all of our goals. Happy Passover”
