Former Commander of Unit 8200 Warns of Iranian Conditions for Nuclear Deal
According to Channel 14 Israel, Hanan Gefen, a reserve brigadier general and former commander of Unit 8200, stated in an interview that the series of targeted killings of Hamas commanders in Gaza is causing panic within the organization. Gefen warned that Tehran is utilizing the current period to restore its military capabilities, claiming that Iran has resumed ballistic missile production. He further expressed concern regarding US-led negotiations with Tehran, alleging that Iran is attempting to condition a potential nuclear deal on the cessation of Israeli military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, and potentially the withdrawal of IDF forces, which he argues could restrict Israel's military freedom of action.
