[Israeli Defense Minister Says Mission Against Iran "Not Yet Complete"] Golden Finance reports that Israeli Defense Minister Katz stated at a war memorial ceremony on the 8th that Israel's "mission against Iran is not yet complete." He said Iran is attempting to "restart the process of acquiring nuclear weapons" and is conducting "other activities that seriously threaten Israel's security," which Israel cannot accept and will "take necessary actions" to preemptively eliminate the threat. However, he provided no evidence of the threat or specified any concrete actions. The Israeli army will not withdraw from the occupied Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and parts of Syria. If Hezbollah in Lebanon joins forces with Iran to attack Israel, it will face "severe retaliation."
