He also addressed the ongoing efforts to secure the return of hostages held by Hamas, saying: “The mission is not yet complete. Our commitment is to bring all the hostages home — the living for rehabilitation and the fallen for proper burial. This is our highest moral and ethical duty.”
Barnea visited the Mossad’s operational command center on Tuesday, where he reiterated the agency's continued vigilance. “We will keep a close watch on every project in Iran that we know in the deepest detail. We will be there, just as we have been until now,” he said.
Barnea concluded his remarks by thanking Mossad agents past and present. “This success stems not just from the operation itself,” he said, “but from the years of groundwork, executed perfectly, that led to this critical moment. These are moments none of us will ever forget. Thanks to Israel’s entire defense establishment, this is now a stronger, safer country — ready for what lies ahead.”
