Speaking about Iran’s large-scale attack, Israel Defence Forces Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that Iran’s attack is a severe and dangerous escalation. There will be consequences.
“Iran launched a large-scale attack of over 180 ballistic missiles directly from Iranian soil at the State of Israel. There were a small number of hits in the center of Israel and some other hits in the southern Israel. The majority of the incoming missiles were intercepted by Israel and a defensive coalition led by the United States. Iran’s attack is a severe and dangerous escalation. There will be consequences,” he said. Hagari added that they would respond to the attack whenever and however they chose.
