Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened Saturday to “burn Tehran” if Iran continues launching missiles at Israeli territory.
Katz’s remarks got here throughout a high-level safety evaluation attended by Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, Mossad Director David Barnea, and different senior navy officers, in accordance with the Israeli newspaper The Times of Israel.
“The Iranian dictator is turning the citizens of Iran into hostages and creating a reality in which they, especially the residents of Tehran, will pay a heavy price for the criminal attack on Israeli civilians,” Katz claimed, referring to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
“If Khamenei continues to fire missiles at the Israeli home front, Tehran will burn,” he warned.
Earlier, Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir and Air Force Commander Tomer Bar mentioned that “the path to Iran is paved,” saying new airstrikes on the capital Tehran.
According to plans, Israeli Air Force planes will strike targets in Tehran, they added.
Israel launched a large-scale airstrike in opposition to Iran early Friday, focusing on nuclear websites and missile bases, and killing senior navy commanders and nuclear scientists.
Later that night, Iran retaliated with a collection of missiles and drone assaults. Israeli media reported that the strikes killed three Israelis and wounded 172 others.
