IDF Threatens 'Elimination' of Russian Leaders

Israeli military spokeswoman Anna Ukolova has drawn outrage in Moscow after threatening that Russian authorities who “wish Israel ill” could be subject to “elimination,” while suggesting Israel could hack into Russian closed-circuit television cameras to identify and track targets. {A large number of Russian CCTVs are believed to be using Israeli video analysis software.}

Asked by a journalist with Russian radio broadcaster RBC whether Israel had access to Russian traffic cameras, Ukolova declined to answer directly but warned that “Khamenei’s elimination shows our capabilities are serious” and that “no one who wishes us harm will be left aside.”

With little to no defense capability that they think they can get away with aggression against a country that dwarfs their military capacity. I suppose they figure they can manipulate Trump into backing them, like they did Iran.

How Bibi managed to grab onto Trump's lil mushroom to lead him around is beyond me, but he did.
