Israel’s Netanyahu says Iran can pay for missile assault, as Tehran threatens a crushing response if Israel hits again.
Iran has carried out a serious missile assault on Israel – in retaliation, it says, to the killing of the leaders of Hezbollah and Hamas, in addition to a senior commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Israel says it intercepted many of the roughly 200 missiles, with the assistance of america.
World leaders are urging either side to step again from the brink of a regional battle.
However Israel has promised to reply, warning Iran can pay for its “huge mistake”.
So, what would that response appear to be? And after practically a yr of battle on Gaza and a marketing campaign of air raids in Lebanon, is Israel in a position to battle on a 3rd entrance?
