Rough Whisper translation:
Good morning.
We opened the night on the national level with Am KeLavi operation.
In a precise and precise action, in a plane in an occupied area,
our troops attacked, and are still attacking, military targets and targets from the nuclear program in various areas in Iran.
The air force is operating at a high altitude, at a distance of thousands of kilometers from the territory of the State of Israel,
and they are attacking in places where Israeli planes were seen first.
At night, 200 fighter jets were launched and fired more than 330 different missiles.
During the night, more than 100 targets were attacked across Iran,
including the Iranian General Staff and the leaders of the nuclear program.
At present, I can assure you that in the attack, the security leadership of the Iranian police was lost.
The Iranian Chief of Staff, Bakary, the Commander of the Revolutionary Guards, Salami, and the Chief of Defense, Rashid,
were also lost.
In addition, we attacked and attacked the air defense systems of the Iranian police.
We went out to the operation in the most appropriate way,
in the most realistic and realistic way, and with the highest operational readiness.
We have been following the developments in Iran for years.
In the last period, we have seen that the Iranian police have made significant progress in achieving nuclear capability,
and in their ability to act in a real way against us.
The threat is complex in three levels.
In the first level, the Iranian police are overrun by a nuclear bomb.
We are now revealing for the first time that the Iranian police have set up a secret program.
In the program's framework, Iran's elite nuclear scientists have allegedly attempted to promote all the necessary parts of building a nuclear weapon.
This is one significant proof that the Iranian police are acting to achieve a nuclear weapon in the near future.
In the second level, the Iranian police are under the control of thousands of ballistic missiles,
which it plans to destroy and destroy.
This is a proof of understanding that this is an effective threat to Israel.
This is a number of missiles, which in itself is an existential threat.
In the third level, the Iranian police continue to attack,
to command and to direct their forces in the Middle East against the State of Israel.
All of these are connected to the Israel Defense Program, which has been in force for many years.
Elections in Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas have set up a broad and precise fire department for all of the terrorist groups,
which will lead to a land invasion of Israel from all of its borders.
The goal of our operation is to eradicate the threat.
We have set out to act to guarantee our lives here and to defend our citizens.
We have been working on this operation for a long time.
In recent months, a series of breakthroughs have taken place,
which have led to the ability to attack air forces from very far away.
The operation has been enabled,
thanks to the advanced intelligence capabilities of the Intelligence Department,
which have created intelligence rigidity around the enemy.
At this time, the Chief of Staff is in charge of the operation,
along with the Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff of the Intelligence Department.
The IDF is in high command and is monitoring the situation all the time.
In recent hours, Iran has sent more than 100 unmanned missiles from the ground across the territory of the State of Israel.
All defense systems are operating in a dangerous situation.
It is important to maintain control of the air force.
They save lives.
This is a different event than what we have experienced so far.
We still have hard times ahead of us.
We have to find a way out and a long way to go.
This is a test time for our ability to stand together with them.
I will continue to be here with you,
to improve our development.
