The Prime Minister of Israel stated in a gathering of several former senior right-wing military officers: "We will do everything we can to prevent Iran from establishing terror fronts around us." Benjamin Netanyahu also added: "Israel will do whatever it can to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons." According to the Jerusalem Post, the Israeli Prime Minister said on Tuesday after the launch of Operation 'Shield and Arrow' that "Israel is prepared to fight Iran on multiple fronts if necessary." In separate remarks, referring to "Iran's efforts to initiate a multi-front campaign against Israel," he stated: "95% of Israel's security problems stem from Iran." Netanyahu made these comments just hours after the Israeli military's airstrike on the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the deaths of three Islamic Jihad commanders. This operation, named 'Shield and Arrow,' was conducted in collaboration with Israel's internal security service. Israel claims this operation was in response to "last week's rocket attacks and against elements that have destabilized the region in recent months." Three senior Islamic Jihad officials and 10 civilians were killed in the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza. Three Palestinians 'wanted' by the Israeli army were also killed. A ceasefire in Gaza was established one day after the death of a Palestinian prisoner.
