STORY: :: Israel PM Netanyahu urges Israelis to prepare for 'extended' stays in shelters:: June 13, 2025:: Tel Aviv, Israel:: Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister"That’s why I’m once again asking you to strictly follow the guidelines of the Home Front Command. It’s very possible that you will need to stay in protected spaces for an extended period of time, much longer than we’ve been used to until now. Please make sure to stock up, as I’m sure you’re already doing — with supplies, food, clothing, and more. But above all, stock up on patience, on faith in the justice of our cause, and in confidence in our victory. There’s a reason we named this operation ‘Rising Lion’ — 'A people that rises up as a lioness, and as a lion lifts himself up'. We are going to achieve many great accomplishments — thanks to you and thanks to our heroic soldiers."Netanyahu, speaking in a video released by his office, also said that Israeli strikes had hit senior Iranian commanders.He did not identify the commanders.
