Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter has hinted that the world should brace for a “surprise” later this week in Israel’s ongoing strikes against Iran—one, he said, that will make the Mossad’s recent Hezbollah pager operation seem “simple” by comparison.

“We’re progressing ahead of schedule,” Ambassador Leiter told host Lyndsay Keith on Merit TV on Tuesday, adding that Israel’s ultimate goal is to “demolish all nuclear weapon facilities in Iran.”
