The IDF is updating its attack plans against Iran's nuclear facilities, Defense Minister Benny Gantz revealed on Thursday in an interview with Fox News.
"If the world stops them before, it's very much good. But if not, we must stand independently and we must defend ourselves by ourselves," Gantz said.
Gantz spoke as US President Joe Biden is working to renew negotiations with the Iranians as part of an effort to return to the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran - known as the JCPOA.
Israel is opposed to a return to the deal and has laid out a series of demands it would like to see addressed in a future deal.
During the interview, Gantz revealed a classified map to demonstrate how Hezbollah has “hundreds of thousands of missiles” and asked “what is going to happen to Lebanon?”
“We are ready to fight,” he informed his interviewer, Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst.
The map was blurred for the audience back home but Yingst seemed very interested in its content. The former IDF chief of staff said that the map contains the locations of Hezbollah ground forces, launching sites and command posts.
“Everything (they have) is directed at civilian targets and is being conducted from civilian infrastructure,” he said.
Gantz added that each one of these locations has been examined by Israel from all aspects, including the legality of striking it, and that Jerusalem is willing to do so in the event that a new war erupts with Hezbollah.
"This is a target map. Each one of them has been checked legally, operationally, intelligence-wise and we are ready to fight," Gantz said.
Hezbollah na Iran Jiandaeni maana Joe Biden anataka kufufua mkataba wa nuclear wa Iran wa mwaka 2015 ambao Israel hawaukubali so kinachofuata ndio mtajua kuwa Israel can stand alone
NB: Huyu mwamba ndio atachukua nafasi ya Benjamin Netanyahu
Hapa chini ni Benny Gantz Waziri wa ulinzi wa Israel ambaye pia ndio mrithi wa BIBI
