Iran made a “big mistake tonight,” says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the opening of the security cabinet meeting in Jerusalem shortly after an Iranian missile attack, “and it will pay for it.” The strike on Israel earlier in the evening “failed,” he says. “It was thwarted thanks to Israel’s air defense system, which is the most advanced in the world,” says the prime minister, thanking the US for its support as well. “The regime in Iran does not understand our determination to defend ourselves and our determination to retaliate against our enemies,” says Netanyahu. “Sinwar and Deif did not understand this, Nasrallah and Shukr did not understand this, and there are probably those in Tehran who do not understand this.” “They will understand,” he threatens, stressing that “whoever attacks us — we will attack him.” (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
