Netanyahu termed Iran’s missile assault “a giant mistake” and vowed to make Tehran “pay for it”.
“Iran made a giant mistake tonight and can pay for it,” he mentioned. “Whoever assaults us, we assault them.”
The missile salvo is the second direct assault by Iran on Israel this yr, following an identical offensive in April, which was shortly subdued by Israeli and allied defences.

Man Nir, spokesperson of the Israeli embassy in India, talking solely to EDNBOX, mentioned an acceptable response will probably be given to Tehran. “If he (Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) plans to provoke a full-scale battle with Israel, will probably be a mistake for them (Iran),” Mr Nir advised EDNBOX. “Israel’s response goes to be one thing strategic and pin-pointed, and never a full-scale battle. I do not assume any aspect needs that.”
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed that 90 per cent of its missiles efficiently hit their targets, regardless of Israel’s superior defence programs.
