Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has told the Islamic Republic of Iran that it would regret launching missiles on Israeli territory.
The Prime minister spoke out on the missile attack on Israel by Iran a little earlier on Tuesday.
“Iran made a big mistake tonight and will pay for it. Whoever attacks us, we attack them,” he said, as he gathered his security cabinet for a meeting late Tuesday.
The Israeli military says it has received no reports of injuries from the Iranian missile attack.
The military’s spokesperson, Rear Adm Daniel Hagari, said the country’s air defenses intercepted many of the incoming missiles, though some landed in central and southern Israel.
“This strike will have consequences,” he said.
He urged the public to continue to listen to public-safety guidelines from the army.
