WATCH:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
"Citizens of Israel,
In recent years, and especially in recent weeks, Israel has been preparing for the possibility of a direct attack from Iran.
Our defense systems are deployed, we are prepared for any scenario, both defensively and offensively. The State of Israel is strong, the IDF is strong, and the public is strong.
We appreciate the standing of the United States by Israel's side, as well as the support of Britain, France, and many other countries.
I have established a clear principle - whoever harms us, we will harm them back. We will defend ourselves from any threat and do so with determination and resolve.
I know that you, the citizens of Israel, also maintain a sense of calm. I urge you to listen to the instructions of the Home Front Command.
Together we will stand, and with the help of God - together we will overcome all our enemies."
