Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, the 22nd of March, 2026, said Israel would go directly after top commanders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, following a fresh missile strike on a southern Israeli town.
Netanyahu made the statement during a visit to Arad, one of the areas hit in Saturday’s attack, where he assessed the damage and met with emergency officials.
“We’re going after the regime. We’re going after the IRGC, this criminal gang,” Netanyahu said.
“We’re going after them personally, their leaders, their installations, their economic assets. We’re going after them personally.”
The strike reportedly affected parts of southern Israel, including areas close to strategic sites, leaving several people injured and damaging homes and infrastructure.
