Defense Minister Israel Katz again warns that any attack on Israel from Iran will be met with a “powerful response.”
In recent weeks, Iran has launched dozens of ballistic missiles at US targets in Israel’s eastern neighbor, Jordan.
“Given the possibility that, due to the economic stranglehold and heavy pressure Iran is under, they may decide to act against Israel, I once again warn the Iranian leadership: Any attack on Israel, for any reason and in any place, will be met with a powerful response, one that will inflict severe damage on Iran that it has never suffered before, including to its main energy facilities, which provide resources and capabilities to the Iranian war and terror apparatus, and to harming the citizens of the State of Israel,” Katz says in a video statement.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
