Israel and its intelligence partners thwarted more than 50 attempts to attack Jewish and Israeli targets worldwide, all orchestrated by Iran, Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant revealed Thursday.
Most of the attacks were at the last stages of execution and were stopped at the "last moment."
In his visit to Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, Iran's northern neighbor, Gallant accused Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei of overseeing a terrorist campaign "of unprecedented measure" targeting Israelis and Jews.
During his meeting with Ilham Aliyev, president of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the parties discussed further ways to strengthen strategic ties and cooperate in the face of mutual challenges.
"We have many shared challenges – particularly the fight against terrorism – which not only threatens national security but also aims to destabilize the region. While facing challenges, we also have many new opportunities," said Gallant.
