Hours after Iran fired a barrage of missiles at Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday vowed retaliation against Tehran saying “it will pay for it”.
“Iran made a big mistake tonight and it will pay for it,” Benjamin Netanyahu said as he gathered his Security Cabinet for a late-night meeting.
Iran fired roughly 200 missiles into Israel on Tuesday evening, the latest in a string of escalating attacks in a years-long battle between Israel, Iran, and its Arab allies that threatens to bring the Middle East closer to a regional war.
The orange glow of missiles flashed over Israel’s night sky as air raid sirens blared and civilians rushed to bomb bunkers.
Early on Wednesday, Iran declared that its missile attack on Israel was complete, barring more provocation, while the US pledged to retaliate against Tehran’s escalation as worries of a larger war grew.
In a statement broadcast on state TV late on Tuesday, Iran said the attack targeted air and radar bases as well as security apparatus that planned the killing of senior Hamas and Hezbollah figures.
It said Iran has a right to defend itself under international regulations.
