IDF spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin said Tuesday evening that Israel is bracing for significant rocket and missile fire from Lebanon, while simultaneously carrying out operations aimed at disrupting and preventing such attacks by striking Hezbollah positions.

Defrin also referenced the targeted killings of senior Iranian figures, including acting leader Ali Larijani and top Basij commanders, describing the developments as part of a broader escalation against Tehran. “We are in the midst of a very significant day in the war. With each passing day, we deepen the damage to the Iranian regime. We will reach all Iranian leaders, anywhere and at any time.”

Addressing speculation surrounding Iran’s newly named supreme leader, Defrin said Mojtaba Khamenei has not appeared publicly in recent days and has remained silent. He stressed that Israel intends to track him down regardless of his location. “Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen recently and we have not heard from him. In any case, he is not immune – we will pursue him, find him and eliminate him.”
