ARAD, Israel: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Sunday to pursue senior commanders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards “personally,” during a visit to a town struck by an Iranian missile the previous day.
“We’re going after the regime. We’re going after the IRGC, this criminal gang,” Netanyahu said, as he inspected the damage in the southern Israeli town of Arad.
“We’re going after them personally, their leaders, their installations, their economic assets. We’re going after them personally.”
The second town struck by an Iranian missile on Saturday was Dimona, widely believed to house Israel’s undeclared nuclear arsenal.
Nestled in the Negev desert, Dimona sustained extensive damage from a direct hit.
On Sunday, Netanyahu visited the town, urging residents to heed instructions from the military’s Home Front Command and take shelter immediately whenever sirens warn of incoming missiles.
“The whole nation is a frontline, the entire home front is a frontline. And when we’re at the frontline, we carry out these orders,” Netanyahu said.
“So please do this — and this is an order.”
