Defense Israel Katz announced on Monday that the IDF successfully targeted the so-called "Israel doomsday clock" that included a digital countdown toward Israel's destruction.

The digital countdown clock was unveiled by demonstrators in 2017, during a rally marking the last Friday of the Holy Month of Ramadan, called "Jerusalem Day," instituted by the the founder of the ayatollah regime Ruhollah Khomeini as a rallying cry to defeat Israel. It shows a fist with the colors of the Palestinian flag punching through an Israeli flag. The countdown, which was just over 8411 days when installed, appears next to the caption "Left before destruction of Israel."
