The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, affirmed this Sunday during a visit to the site of impact of an Iranian missile that Israel is «crushing» the enemy and «winning the battle» against Iran, while calling on other countries to join the offensive against the Persian country. Under heavy security measures, Netanyahu visited Arad, a locality in southern Israel where this Saturday night a missile fell among some residential buildings causing more than 60 injured -ten of them serious- after another missile also impacted the nearby locality of Dimona. In Dimona, located 30 kilometers from Arad, is the country's largest nuclear facility. «I am pleased to say that I see that some are starting to move in that direction, but more is needed», he added to these selected journalists, while permission for the visit was denied to the vast majority of media. According to Netanyahu, Iran and the United States are «winning this battle» and «crushing the enemy», while remaining «firm» in their determination. Regarding the objectives of the war, he pointed out that one of the two that have been defined is to «completely dismantle their nuclear program, their missile program and their ability to produce the components of both programs». «We are well on our way to achieving this», he added about this first objective. And he added as a second end «to create the conditions» for the Iranian people to overthrow the regime of Iran. And in Lebanon there are more than a thousand dead. The Israeli Foreign Minister, Gideon Saar, also visited the place, affirmed that it was a «miracle» that no one died there and highlighted that a child was seriously injured. In total, around 120 people were injured in various ways, eleven of them serious, in the two missile impacts in the area of the southern Israeli desert that houses the country's largest nuclear facility, without the interceptors managing to destroy the projectiles before they fell. «Israel and the United States are working together for the good of the world» in their war against Iran, Netanyahu affirmed in statements to a small group of selected journalists, released by his office. «It is time for the leaders of the rest of the countries to join. I hope we can also achieve this», he said about this goal. Regarding the attack on Arad with a missile that could not be intercepted by defense systems, Netanyahu stated that Iran's intention is «to kill civilians», to which Israel and the United States respond «with great force, but not against civilians». In Israel, 15 people have died from Iranian missiles and one more from a projectile from the Shiite group Hezbollah, while in Iran alone in the first week of the offensive, more than 1,200 deaths occurred, the only official figure given - on March 5 - by Iranian authorities. Netanyahu threatens that Israel will target Iranian leaders, especially the Revolutionary Guard, while inspecting on Sunday
