Iran warns Israel of "crushing attacks" as Netanyahu calls for revenge
Tel Aviv: After Tuesday's devastating attacks, Iran's Revolutionary Guards has now issued another warning to Israel of possible "crushing attacks" if Israel retaliates any further.
The barrage on Tuesday targeted Israeli military bases near Tel Aviv and key air and radar installations.
It may be mentioned that 90 per cent of missiles hit their targets, Iran claimed.
Tehran linked the strike to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in July, describing its actions as defensive measures after a period of restraint.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised swift retribution, while Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian cautioned against provocation
The United States described the assault as "defeated and ineffective" and warned Tehran of serious repercussions.
Israel's security cabinet met to discuss the escalating situation, with Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari stating, "This attack will have consequences."
A massive barrage of over 400 missiles launched from Iran had sent millions in Israel fleeing for safety in bomb shelters across the country on Tuesday.
The attack triggered widespread sirens and emergency responses, prompting the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) to swiftly activate defense systems to intercept the incoming threat.
The IDF has given the all-clear for residents to leave protected spaces, but the government urged for continued vigilance and adherence to Home Front Command guidelines.
