"Our enemies are waiting in fear, knowing we will choose when and how to strike most efficiently, with each Shahid that falls, our power grows, and our enemies will be wise to understand that." In a direct warning to Iran, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kochavi warned, during a visit to the border with Syria, that Israel is prepared for any attack against it.“Our message is clear,” Kochavi said. “We will continue to act as vigorously as necessary against Iranian entrenchment in Syria, and we are fully prepared for any sort of aggression against us."Anna Ahronheim contributed to this report
