Opposition Leader Yair Lapid calls for a “tough” response to last night’s ballistic missile attack from Iran.
“There is something that should be clear to our enemies: Israel will be victorious,” he says in a statement.
“With our military capabilities, our defense industries, the support of our allies and in particular the strength of our incredible people,” continues the former prime minister, “we know that even when the cost is high, we will win.”
Tehran, he says, “will pay a significant and heavy price for last night’s attack. Tehran knows that Israel is coming. The response needs to be tough and it should send an unequivocal message to the terror axis in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon, Gaza and in Iran itself.”
Lapid also calls for a regional strategy designed to bring change to the region.
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.
