Just one day before Israel launched its dramatic military operation against Iranian nuclear targets, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu made a quiet, symbolic visit to the Kosel, where he inserted a handwritten note into the ancient stones bearing the words:“עם כלביא יקום וכארי יתנשא”“He shall rise like a lion and lift himself up like a king of beasts.”
The posuk is found in Parshas Balak (Bamidbar 23:24)
Less than 24 hours later, Israel unveiled the name of its coordinated assault on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure: Operation Rising Lion — עם כלביא.
Israeli officials confirmed that the posuk served as the inspiration for the name of the operation.
