IDF Central Command Chief Maj. Gen. Avi Blot announced forces are preparing to launch a major counter-terrorism operation across Judea and Samaria following a deadly shooting attack near Tal village in the Samaria region.

​The operation comes amid heightened regional tensions following recent arson and stabbing incidents, with Israeli forces neutralizing four terrorists at the scene—including the shooter—and recovering a seized weapon.

​Major General Blot warned of high risks of regional escalation and copycat attacks, confirming the deployment of reinforcement units to carry out offensive operations and arrest all suspects involved.

There is currently no problem with mediators or exchanging messages with the United States.

​The real problem lies in the American approach, which continues to rely on bullying, pressure, and threats.

​Iran has shown that it will never submit to American coercion, nor will we respond to the language of force.

​We do not fear threats, nor will we back down from protecting our nation's rights and interests in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.

​Our armed forces on the battlefield and our diplomats in the arena work hand in hand to protect the country's principles and unity.

«President Xi, at our recent meeting in Beijing, China, told me that he would not, under any circumstances, give or sell Weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran — And that statement included Chinese Companies. Considering our relationship, I take him at his word and, besides, l am doing him very big favors, also. Likewise, President Putin, despite the horrible War going on in Ukraine (The relationship remains, as it does with President Zelenskyy), told me that he would not sell Weapons to Iran. He understands that I do not sell Weapons to Ukraine, but to NATO Countries. They pay full price, and how those Weapons are distributed, I have no idea. Therefore, two major Countries that people speak of often in terms of Iran are, in my opinion, not participating. If they did, it would be very bad for them — Certainly not in their best interests.»

From now on, we consider the principle we previously proved effective to the enemy to be a decisive and clear equation on the battlefield: for every martyrdom of an honorable citizen of Islamic Iran, one American soldier will be killed. We have prepared free, direct tickets for you to hell.
