Israel would have killed the supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, if this had been possible during the recent 12-day war, Israel Katz, said Reuters, taken over by Agerpres on Thursday.
“I estimate that if we had Khamena in our visual field, we would have eliminated it,” Katz said in an interview for Kan's public television station.
“But Khamenei understood this, went underground to very deep and broke the contacts with the commanders who replaced the commanders eliminated by us, so in the end it was not realistic,” he said.
Israel has killed several high -ranking Iranian commanders in the last two weeks.
The Israeli forces have been hit since June 13 strategic targets inside Iran, while the Tehran responded with rocket and drone attacks especially on Israeli cities Tel Aviv and Haifa.
After days of absence, Khamena came out to say that Iran “slammed America” and send a message to Trump
Ali Khamena, 86, has not been seen in public since she took refuge in a secret bunker, after Israel attacked Iranian nuclear installations and assassinated several military commanders and scientists, writes Reuters.
The supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, proclaimed Victoria on Israel on Thursday and said that his country “slapped America”, in the first public comments after the armistice concluded in the war between the two countries.
Khamenei spoke in a video recorded by the Iranian state television, its first appearance since June 19, showing and looking more tired than just a week ago, writes also Associated Press.
