The Israel Defence Force, IDF, on Wednesday warned Iran of consequences following the latest missile attack.
IDF’s spokesman, Daniel Hagari warned that Israel will respond in any way necessary.
Posting on X, Hagari wrote: “Iran’s attack is a severe and dangerous escalation. There will be consequences. We will respond wherever, whenever and however we choose, in accordance with the directive of the government of Israel.”
On Tuesday, Iran had shot about 180 missiles into Israel.
This is the latest in a series of escalating attacks in a yearslong conflict between the two nations and its Arab allies that threatens to push the Middle East closer toward a regionwide war.
Before Iran’s attack, Israel had landed a series of devastating attacks in recent weeks against the leadership of Hezbollah in Lebanon.
