Knesset speaker: Iran made ‘big mistake’ targeting Netanyahu, ‘and will pay a price’

Knesset speaker Amir Ohana says Iran made a “big mistake” by targeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a drone attack on his home in Caesarea today.

“Iran, by means of its proxy Hezbollah, made a big mistake today,” Ohana, a member of Netanyahu’s Likud party, says on Channel 12.

He says there’s a difference between Israel’s attacks on terror chiefs — including those of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — and today’s attack on Netanyahu.

Israel has made clear that it seeks to eliminate the heads of terror groups, Ohana says, but Israel is a democratic, sovereign state whose prime minister has now been targeted. “Doing so was a big mistake and they will pay a price,” he repeats.

“In my opinion, incidentally, after they pay the price, they’ll be sorry they ever learned to fly a paper plane, never mind a drone.”
