Iran’s missile attack on Tuesday was serious and will have consequences, according to Israel’s military spokesperson, who did not specify when or how Israel would respond.
Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, speaking minutes after the military said Israelis were now permitted to leave protected areas, stated that there were no known casualties from the missile barrage, though some hits were reported in central and southern Israel.
“We are on high alert, both defensively and offensively,” Hagari said in a televised broadcast.
“We will defend the citizens of the State of Israel. This attack will have consequences. We have plans, and we will act at a time and place of our choosing.”
Hagari later also said that the Israeli Air Force will “strike powerfully in the Middle East” tonight.
“The Israeli and US air defence systems operated effectively” on the barrage of Iranian missiles, he says in an update.
“Iran carried out a serious act tonight and is pushing the Middle East to an escalation,” he adds.
Iran launched a salvo of ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday in retaliation for Israel’s operations against Tehran’s Hezbollah allies in Lebanon. Alarms sounded across the country, and explosions were heard in Jerusalem and the Jordan River valley as Israelis rushed into bomb shelters.
