Binyamin Netanyahu warns ‘Israel will charge a very heavy price for any aggression from any arena’
Israel poised for military response from Iran and Hizbullah in wake of two assassinations Israel i security forces are preparing for all possible scenarios, including rocket or drone strikes on military installations or Israel i population centres; crossborder attacks; attacks via Iranian proxy militias across the region; or attacks on Israel i or Jewish targets abroad. Israel i ambassadors have been ordered to maintain a low profile.
Israeli Air Force chief Maj Gen Tomer Bar said: “We are prepared and ready within minutes for any occurrence wherever it may be. There is no point that is too far.” None of the parties want an all-out war as a miscalculation by any side could plunge the region into a dangerous conflagration. Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Iran was obliged to avenge the death of Mr Haniyeh because the assassination had taken place on Iranian soil. He said Israel had paved the way for a strong punitive strike.
