While the Iron Dome air defense system was activated, the Israelis took shelter in shelters. According to the news of Israel-based Channel 13; Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu waited in a sheltered underground shelter in Jerusalem for hours.
NETANYAHU: IRAN WILL PAY THE PRICE FOR THIS
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Iran’s missile attack failed and vowed retaliation. Netanyahu, who published a video statement on social media regarding the ballistic missile attack carried out by Iran, said:Iran made a big mistake tonight and will pay the price for it. “The Iranian regime does not understand our determination to defend ourselves and retaliate against our enemies.” he said.
Claiming that Iran’s missile attack failed and was repelled thanks to Israel’s air defense system, Netanyahu thanked the United States for its support to defense efforts.
‘WHOEVER ATTACKS US, WE ATTACK THEM TOO’
Netanyahu said, “The rule we have set is this: Whoever attacks us, we attack him. “This is true wherever we fight the axis of evil,” he said.
“Israel is advancing and the axis of evil is in retreat,” Netanyahu said. We will do everything necessary to ensure that this trend continues and to achieve all our objectives in the war. “Our priority is the return of all hostages and the guarantee of our existence and future,” he said.
Claiming that Iran was behind the armed attack in Jaffa today, Netanyahu said, “The enlightened forces of the world must unite and act together against the dark Ayatollah regime, which is the source of terror and evil in our region. “They should be on Israel’s side,” he said.

Stating that they are on “alert” in both defensive and offensive positions due to Iran’s attacks, Hagari said, “These (missiles) fire will have consequences. We have plans, we will take action at the place and time we choose.” he said.
