Iran’s recent attack on Israel, the second this year following the first strike in April, has further heightened the tension between the two nations. The attack involved the launch of almost 200 ballistic missiles, with Israel claiming interception of most, but some reportedly striking central and southern Israel.
The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said in a statement that the strike has been “in line with the legitimate right of the nation to defend itself.” adding that it was a retaliation for the “violation of Iran’s sovereignty and the martyrdom.”
According to a BBC report, a senior Iranian official told Reuters that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, ordered the attack.
“Iran made a big mistake tonight and it will pay for it,” said Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. “The regime in Iran does not understand our determination to defend ourselves and our determination to retaliate against our enemies,” he added.
Reportedly, during a cabinet meeting, he said that Iran’s missile attack “failed” as it was “thwarted thanks to Israel’s air defence array”.
As per the outlet, defence minister Yoav Gallant said in a statement: “Iran has not learned a simple lesson – those who attack the state of Israel pay a heavy price,” He further vowed vengeance.
