In a strong statement on its verified Twitter account, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have reiterated their commitment to safeguarding Israeli people from dangers posed by Iran and its proxies.
The widely shared tweet underscores Israel’s proactive approach towards mitigating regional dangers and draws attention to the persistent tensions that exist between Israel and Iran.
The IDF’s message reads: “Regardless of who pulls the trigger, we know who is loading the gun. We will not allow Iran and its proxies to terrorize our civilians. We will keep doing everything we can to protect Israel.”
This declaration comes despite a backdrop of growing hostilities and proxy conflicts in the Middle East, where Iran’s influence through extremist groups in Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, and other regions poses a chronic threat to Israeli security.

By holding Iran accountable for the deeds of its proxies, the IDF reaffirms its commitment to upholding a robust defense posture and acting proactively to neutralize threats before they arise.
