According to a report by CCTV, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said that operations against Iran were not yet complete, alleging that Tehran was attempting to restart its efforts to obtain nuclear weapons.

Speaking at a memorial ceremony, Katz said Israel would not tolerate these threats and would take whatever steps it deemed necessary. He emphasized Israel's determination to pursue preemptive and offensive policies against its enemies.

Katz also announced that Israeli troops would not withdraw from the areas they control in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. He warned that Israel would respond forcefully if Hezbollah participated in a potential Iranian attack against Israel.

Meanwhile, International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi stated on October 27 that no attempts by Iran to repair or rebuild its nuclear facilities damaged in US and Israeli strikes had been detected. However, he noted that inspectors' limited access had prevented verification of all Iranian nuclear activities.
