IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, following an assessment this evening, says Israel will respond to the Iranian attack.
“We proved our ability to prevent the enemy from an achievement, by combining exemplary civil behavior and a very strong air defense array,” he says in remarks provided by the IDF.
“We will choose when to exact the price, and prove our precise and surprising attack capabilities, in accordance with the guidance of the political echelon,” Halevi adds.
