Defense Minister Israel Katz said Tuesday that Iran is firing at all targets in the region except Israel, because the Iranian regime knows American fighter jets are taking off from Israel to strike Iran. The remark follows Katz's earlier revelation that US jets are operating from Israeli bases as part of strikes on Iran.
Defense Minister Israel Katz elaborated Tuesday on his earlier revelation that US fighter jets are operating from Israeli territory to strike Iran. In a new statement, Katz said the Iranian regime is aware of the American air operations and therefore deliberately avoids firing at Israel, while striking other targets in the region. The remarks, reported by Israeli media, reinforce the picture of direct US-Israeli coordination in the ongoing campaign against Iran. The Zioneer previously reported Katz's initial statement at 12:23 Jerusalem time.
