Opposition leader Yair Lapid on Saturday praised the work of the military but said Israel should have struck Iran harder after Israel unleashed a series of pre-dawn airstrikes against the country.
“The decision not to attack strategic and economic targets in Iran was wrong. We could and should have exacted a much heavier price from Iran,” Lapid wrote in a post on X.
He said the air force actions showed its operational capabilities, and that Israel’s enemies know that its military is strong and can attack anywhere.
The Iranian army said two soldiers were killed in the Israeli strikes.
The army statement was carried by the Arabic-language channel of the state TV, Al-Alam. The report did not elaborate.
