Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signaled an impending attack with a note left at the Western Wall in Jerusalem prior to a military operation against Iran. The note refers to the Israeli army's operation targeting nuclear facilities in Iran, named "Operation Rising Lion."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signaled the attack before a military operation against Iran with a note he left at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. This note, secretly placed on the wall on Thursday, was shared with the public on Friday morning and contained a striking detail.

In the note written by Netanyahu, a verse from the Torah was included. This verse, which begins with the words "Behold, the people will rise like a lion," is the expression that names the Israeli army's operation against Iran's nuclear facilities: "Operation Rising Lion."

The full verse is as follows:

"Behold, the people will rise like a great lion, they will rise like a young lion; they will not rest until they have eaten their prey and drunk the blood of their enemies."

The visit was part of a distraction plan

According to Israeli media, Netanyahu's visit to the Western Wall was part of a strategy planned to divert attention before the attack on Iran. The Prime Minister's Office spread some false information to surprise Iran. Among these were claims that Netanyahu had gone on vacation, the emphasis on talks with America, and leaked false plans.

Secret preparations were made before the attack

It is reported that Israel has been preparing for a long time to carry out this operation. According to reports, the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad established a secret drone base on Iranian territory. This base targeted the missiles that Iran planned to launch at Israel. It is also claimed that weapons systems and special forces were secretly introduced into Iran, thereby disabling Iran's air defense.

The verse chosen by Netanyahu from the Torah is not just a prayer or wish; it also formed the name and philosophy of the operation. With this verse, a message of strength, determination, and unity was given to the people and army of Israel.
