In response to an unprecedented attack launched by Iran against Israel on Saturday evening, the Israeli army issued a stern warning to Tehran. Army spokesperson Daniel Hagari stated that Iran would “not emerge unscathed” from the attack and that Israel cannot remain idle in the face of such aggression. The army showcased a missile intercepted during the attack, emphasizing the intent of the missiles to kill and destroy Israeli lives.
The attack on Israel by Iran marked the first direct retaliation in response to a strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus. Israel announced that it had intercepted almost all of the 350 drones and missiles launched by Iran with the help of allied countries. The army emphasized that the intercepted devices had the potential for immense damage and that the attack was part of Iran’s strategy to create a ring of fire around Israel.
The tensions between Iran and Israel have been escalating in the region, with Iran posing both a nuclear and conventional threat to Israel. The army reiterated its stance on responding to aggression and threats from Iran, emphasizing that the attack on Israel will not go unpunished. Despite the interception of most of the missiles, the threat of further attacks from Iran remains, and Israel remains prepared to defend itself against any future aggression.
