Gallant: Tehran Built Terror Base at Airport Near the Israeli Border
Iran built a base for terrorist operations at an airport in southern Lebanon’s Qalaat Jabbour mountain region, 12 miles from the border with the Jewish state, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant revealed on Monday.
“In the pictures, you can see the Iranian flag flying over the runways, from which the ayatollah regime plans to operate against the citizens of Israel,” Gallant said in his remarks at the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT)’s 22nd World Summit on Counter-Terrorism in Herzliya.
“Put differently, the land is Lebanese, the control is Iranian, and the target is Israel,” he said, adding that the Israel Defense Forces must “remain aware and ready, with our eyes set on the binoculars and our fingers on the trigger.
“If it comes to a conflict, we will not hesitate to activate the lethal force of the IDF. Hezbollah and Lebanon will pay heavy and painful prices,” he warned.
