At the beginning of October, Tehran attacked Israel with around 200 rockets. The government there immediately announced a retaliatory strike. The Israeli defense minister is threatening his country’s enemies that they will “pay a price.”
Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Galant has threatened a “precise and surprising” response from his country after Iran’s attack on Israel. “Our attack in Iran will be deadly, precise and surprising,” Galant said in a statement published on online networks. Anyone who tries to harm the State of Israel will “pay a price,” Galant added.
On October 1, Iran directly attacked Israel for the second time in six months. According to the Israeli army, a large proportion of the approximately 200 Iranian missiles were intercepted. Tehran said it was reacting to the Israeli military offensive in southern Lebanon against the pro-Iranian Hezbollah militia and the killing of its leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu then announced retaliation; Tehran has “made a big mistake” and will “pay for it.” Since then, international efforts have been underway to prevent further escalation.
Meanwhile, Israel’s army chief Herzi Halevi announced that attacks on the Iranian-backed Hezbollah would continue “without pause.” This is intended to prevent the militia from re-forming. “We will continue to attack Hezbollah with all our might, without giving it any respite or respite,” Halevi said.
Israel kills Hezbollah official in Syria
According to Lebanese reports, targets in the suburbs south of Beirut were attacked again on Wednesday. The Israeli army did not initially confirm the reports when asked. However, she reported that 220 bullets had been fired at Israel from Lebanon since the morning.
Lebanon’s state news agency NNA reported at least six attacks in the suburbs south of the capital. These are considered Hezbollah’s strongholds. There were initially no reports of deaths or injuries. There were again dozens of attacks by the Israeli army in southern Lebanon.
The Israeli army also said it killed a high-ranking pro-Iranian Hezbollah official in Syria. The Israeli Air Force hit and “eliminated” Adham Jahut, a terrorist Hezbollah terrorist cell ‘Golan Terrorist Network’ in Syria, the Israeli army said. Jahut was therefore active as an intermediary who passed on information from Syrian government circles “to Hezbollah”. The attack took place in the Kuneitra area in southwest Syria near the Golan Heights.
