That\u2019s the necessary requirement to keep the Israelis, and frankly as we\u2019ve seen Americans, safe, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Israel performed near-nightly raids on Gaza this week following weeks of continuous bombardment of the territory. The Israeli military stayed in Gaza early Saturday, hinting that the operation could be the beginning of an expected ground invasion of the territory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe forces are still on the ground and are continuing the war,\u201d Israeli military spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said.<\/p>\n<p>Pompeo\u2019s comments came at the beginning of the Friday raid. The former secretary of state also criticized the Biden administration for its response to attacks on U.S. troops in Syria from Iran-backed militias in the area. The U.S. struck multiple militia sites on Thursday in retaliation, but Pompeo said Biden should go farther.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is all orchestrated trade funded by one place, the Islamic Republic of Iran,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd what Israel is doing tonight will only continue to drive Iran to take even more aggressive actions unless the United States does its fundamental role of deterring them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Iran has publicly warned the U.S. of possible escalation if it continues to back Israel in its war against Hamas. Iran has long been an ally and supporter of Hamas, which is designated a terrorist organization in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>White House spokesman John Kirby said the strikes in Syria on Thursday \u201cproved\u201d that the Biden administration is holding Iran accountable.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI think we proved pretty clearly last night that we\u2019re holding Iran accountable,\u201d Kirby said on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe IRGC [Israeli Revolutionary Guard Corps] works for the Supreme Leader and they are directing, facilitating, funding, training the militia groups that are attacking our troops in Iraq and Syria,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd those two targets we hit last night, go right to the IRGC.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
