Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told soldiers on Monday that his country is close to "eliminating the nuclear threat and eliminating the missile threat" from Iran as the military conflict between the two countries entered its fourth day.
"We are on the way to achieve our two goals: eliminating the nuclear threat and eliminating the missile threat," Netanyahu, speaking in Modern Hebrew during a visit to the Israeli Air Force's main base near Tel Aviv, said, as translated by local media. "We are on our way to victory, and this is thanks to our heroic pilots, and our amazing ground crews are also doing an amazing job."
"The IAF controls the skies of Tehran; that changes the entire campaign," he added, referring to Israel's air force. "With God's help, we will succeed and continue until victory."
The Associated Press reported at least five people were killed by Iranian missile attacks in Israel on Monday.
Israel conducted a secret attack on Tehran's military facilities and high-ranking officials late last Thursday in a move Netanyahu described as necessary to preemptively protect his country from nuclear threat.
Netanyahu blasted Iran for targeting Israeli civilians and contrasted Tehran's tactics to his own strategy of warning Iranians about threats from his country.
"When we control the skies of Tehran, we hit these targets, the enemy's targets — in contrast to the criminal Iranian regime, which targets our civilians and comes to kill our children and women — we tell the civilians in Tehran: 'Evacuate' and we are taking action," Netanyahu said.
