Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Monday said on Monday that he has “doubled the attacks on Iran in Syria” during his several months in office.
Speaking from Reichman University at the Herzliya Conference, Gallant also revealed Tehran’s secret sea war against Israel, presenting new photographic evidence of five different ships it is using to establish another front against the Jewish state.
The defense minister presented a series of photos of the ships: the Shahid Siyavashi, the Shahid Rudaki, the Makran, the Shahid Mahadavi and the Shahid Bagheri, as examples of the Islamic Republic’s attempt to extend its tentacles across the Middle East, especially to establish new fronts against Israel.
Regarding Syria, he warned that the restoration of Bashar Assad’s regime to the Arab League “will not give Iranian proxies any immunity.”

“Iran is the biggest threat to the stability of the region and the world. It is prosecuting a war of attrition against Israel. It wants to open a new Hezbollah front on the Golan Heights as it has done in south Lebanon,” he said.
