Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has officially launched Operation Rising Lion, targeting Iran’s nuclear and missile programs. The operation underscores Israel’s determination to counter what Netanyahu describes as an “existential threat” posed by Iran.
During a press conference, Netanyahu emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating that Iran’s advancements in nuclear technology and its support for militant groups like Hamas and Hezbollah necessitate decisive military action. The operation comes amid heightened regional tensions, with Netanyahu expressing solidarity with the Iranian people against their government’s oppressive regime. He stressed that Israel’s military response is not only defensive but also part of a broader effort to foster a safer Middle East.
According to the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), there are nearly 30,000 Filipinos in the region. Over the years, some have been caught in the crossfire between the two nations. As Operation Rising Lion unfolds, the international community is closely monitoring its impact on regional stability and ongoing negotiations regarding Iran’s nuclear program. | via Dann Miranda | Photo Screengrab from Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs
