Israel is planning a ‘painful’ strike on Iran - despite Western calls for calm - after it was targeted in an unprecedented missile and drone attack over the weekend. The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly asked the IDF to draw up a list of targets they could hit that the US would not object to. Leaders across the Western world, including in the US and UK, have urged Israel to "take the win" after an "almost total failure" by Iran in its missile attack.
Herzi Halevi said: "Iran wanted to harm the strategic capabilities of the State of Israel — that is something that had not happened before. "We were prepared for the ‘Iron Shield’ operation — preparation that brought Iran to also meet air superiority."Last Monday, we saw what was being organized, and we think that the State of Israel is very strong and knows how to deal with it alone, but with a threat so numerous and so far away, we are always happy to have with us.
