Excerpt: “Yesterday, the ceasefire with Iran went into effect. This followed the IDF’s achievement of all the goals and objectives of the operation. This was an operation the IDF had been preparing for over years—from planning to building the capabilities that enabled its implementation—alongside the operational experience gained during the war, which made it possible to formulate a detailed and in-depth plan. In recent months, we identified significant progress in the Iranian regime’s nuclear weapons and missile programs. Realizing that we were approaching a point of no return, the Operations Directorate, Intelligence Directorate, and the Israeli Air Force—under the direction of the Chief of the General Staff—accelerated and advanced the plans and capabilities to be optimally implemented within a short time frame. Over the past 12 days, we have achieved major accomplishments. We degraded the military capabilities the Iranian regime has built over the years as part of its plan to destroy Israel. Every aspect of the operation—from the opening strike to its completion—was carried out in full coordination between all IDF directorates, branches, and corps. … It is still too early to summarize the results of the operation, but the creativity, boldness, and precision in the planning and implementation by the planners in the Operations Directorate, the analysts in the Intelligence Directorate, and the operators in the Israeli Air Force will be spoken of for years to come.”
