As Iran launched a large-scale missile attack targeting Israel on the 1st (local time), Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his intention to retaliate, saying, “Iran made a big mistake tonight and will pay the price.”

According to AP and Reuters, Prime Minister Netanyahu held a security meeting on the 2nd and said, “The Iranian regime does not understand our determination to protect itself and our determination to retaliate against our enemies.” He evaluated Iran’s large-scale airstrikes as failures, saying they did not cause any damage to Israel. He emphasized, “The attack was prevented thanks to Israel’s air defense system, which is the most advanced in the world.”

“We will stick to the principle that we will attack anyone who attacks us,” Prime Minister Netanyahu said. “This applies wherever we are fighting the axis of evil.” Iran, Palestine’s Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen form a military network hostile to the United States and Israel in the Middle East. They call themselves the ‘Axis of Resistance’, but Israel defines them as the ‘Axis of Evil’. “Israel is moving and the axis of evil is retreating,” Netanyahu said. “We will do whatever is necessary to continue this trend.”

Earlier, Iran launched about 180 missiles targeting Israel the evening before. It has been about five months since the airstrike on mainland Israel with missiles and drones in April this year. Daniel Hagari, spokesman for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), said, “Israeli and American air defense systems worked effectively and shot down most of the missiles, causing little damage.” However, it was reported that some of the missiles hit central and southern Israel.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) claimed that the attack targeted three military bases and air and radar stations around Tel Aviv, and that 90% of the missiles successfully hit their targets. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arachi said through He said.
