Israeli PM vows retaliation against Iranian missile attack
Foreign
ISREALI Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel would retaliate against Iran’s missile attack, during which 180 missiles were fired toward Israel.
“Iran made a big mistake, and it will pay for it,” said Netanyahu during a Security Cabinet meeting, which discussed Israel’s ground campaign in Lebanon and possible responses to Iran’s missile attack.
At a press briefing earlier, the Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari confirmed that several Iranian missiles hit central and southern Israel, and “quite a few” were intercepted by air defence systems.
A 38-year-old Palestinian was killed as one of the missiles exploded near Jericho city in the occupied West Bank, local Civil Defence said.
There has been no immediate report of fatalities within Israel yet.
The Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) claimed that it had targeted Israel with dozens of ballistic missiles on Tuesday.
The IRGC said in a statement that the attacks were in retaliation for Israel’s assassinations of resistance leaders, including Hamas Politburo Chief Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
