In a warning to Iranian-backed proxy militias in the Middle East, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the “axis of terror” built by Iran was collapsing, pointing to the killings of Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Announcing the death of Sinwar, who orchestrated the attack on Israel on October 7, 20203, Netanyahu said the Iranian regime’s “reign of terror” would also end.
“The axis of terror that was built by Iran is collapsing. Nasrallah (Hezbollah chief) is gone, his deputy Mohsen is gone. (Ismail) Haniya is gone, Mohammed Deif (Hamas military chief) is gone. The reign of terror that the Iranian regime has imposed on its own people and on the peoples of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen – that too will end,” Netanyahu said.
