“Iran took a heavy blow from the IDF," the official added, APA reports, citing yahoo.com.

"It knows very well the scope of the damage it suffered. It understands the meaning of the damage and Israel’s capabilities.”

Israel is preparing for several scenarios, including the possibility of another strike against Iran, a senior IDF official told Maariv on Monday.

Regarding the Gaza front, the official said the IDF is doing everything to secure the best possible conditions for a ceasefire and a hostage deal. “We are monitoring what is happening across the Middle East and in Iran and are preparing for a variety of scenarios and options; one of them is that we may need to act again against Iran.”

“Iran took a heavy blow from the IDF," the official added. "It knows very well the scope of the damage it suffered. It understands the meaning of the damage and Israel’s capabilities.”

The official also addressed the fighting in Gaza against the backdrop of the dramatic Trump-Netanyahu meeting in Washington, which aimed to secure a hostage deal, saying: “We are doing everything to enable a situation in which the best conditions will be achieved for stopping the fighting and returning the 48 hostages and to set security arrangements that meet Israel’s demands.”

“We are busy and acting to protect Israel’s security on multiple fronts.”
