Israeli army chief: Iran behind our most urgent security threats

CAIRO- 8 September, 2017: Chief of the Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate (MID) Major General Herzi Halevi spoke Thursday about the security threats faced by Israel, saying that "we deal with the threats with determination, with those distant and those closer, in all their forms," Ynetnews reported.

"The most severe security threats directed against Israel from armed groups are being aided by Iran," Halevi noted.

"These are serious but not existential threats. Iran strives to base itself on our borders in Syria, Lebanon and Gaza, flooding our borders with its deadly ideology.
