Israel National News reports: “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded, at the start of the meeting of the Security Cabinet on Tuesday evening, to the Iranian missile attack on Israel.

‘Tonight, Iran again attacked Israel with hundreds of missiles. This attack failed. It was thwarted thanks to Israel’s air defense system, which is the most advanced in the world. I congratulate the IDF on its impressive achievement. It was also thwarted thanks to the vigilance and responsibility you – the citizens of Israel – showed. I also thank the United States for its support in our defense effort,’ said Netanyahu.

‘Iran made a big mistake tonight – and it will pay for it. The regime in Iran does not understand our determination to defend ourselves and our determination to retaliate against our enemies. Sinwar and Deif did not understand this, Nasrallah and Mohsen did not understand this, and there are probably those in Tehran who do not understand this. They will understand.’…”
