President Herzog visits site of Zarzir Iran missile attack
President Isaac Herzog visited the impact site of a missile attack in the village of Zarzir on Friday.
“We are here in a Muslim village, which is a historic village, Zarzir,” said Herzog. “It is an incredible place here with Jews and Arabs from the entire region, with leaders and heads of council, Jews and Arabs together. It is an unbelievable sight. This is the real, true story of Israel. We are in all this together.”
“From Lebanon and from Iran, they are trying to kill Muslims too,” continued Herzog. “My message is, of course, that we are sisters and brothers together. We will not cave in. The Iranians are making a big mistake if they think they can hamper us or change our course of weakening them substantially and bringing a different future for the Middle East. Also out there in Lebanon, not only are they hijacking their own country, Lebanon, they’re also actually undermining themselves, and we will hit them hard and strong and bring change there as well.”
The President was accompanied by Head of the Local Council, Atef Grifat, Head of the Forum of Bedouin Councils in Northern Israel, Munir Zubedat, and Commander of the Haifa District in the Home Front Command, BG Yakir Bukobza.
