Education Minister Yoav Kisch said the American strike on Iran demonstrated Israel's resolve and may have helped lead the operation, according to Israeli media. Speaking about the Lebanon front, Kisch warned that if Hezbollah fires on Israel, it will receive a very painful blow.
Education Minister Yoav Kisch, a former IDF fighter pilot and member of the Likud party, issued two statements this morning addressing Israel's security situation. Kisch praised the American strike on Iran as proof of Israel's national resolve after the helicopter downing, and said the operation was a necessary response to Iranian provocations that 'must be struck back with full force.' On the northern front against Hezbollah, Kisch stated that the terror group understands it will suffer a very painful blow if it fires on Israel, and declared that Israel is operating wherever it chooses while Hezbollah takes severe hits. As The Zioneer has reported in recent days (June 8-10), Defense Minister Israel Katz has issued similar warnings to both Iran and Hezbollah, stating that the campaign against Iran is far from over and that any Hezbollah attack will draw a strike on Beirut's Dahiyeh neighborhood. Kisch's comments align with the broader Likud messaging of a hardline posture toward both Iran and Hezbollah.
