Netanyahu assures that Iran has made “a serious mistake” and that it will “pay” for its missile attack

Calls for international unity against those actors who cause “terror and evil” in the Middle East

Oct. 1 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, has warned Iran that it has made “a serious mistake” by launching its missile attack against Israeli territory, while ensuring that Tehran “will pay” the consequences of an offensive that has been largely repelled by the response of the Israeli air defense system and the collaboration of the United States.

“Iran made a big mistake last night, and it will pay for it. The Iranian regime does not understand our determination to defend ourselves and eliminate our enemies (…) Apparently there are some in Tehran who do not understand it. They will understand it,” he stated. Netanyahu in a speech published on his official social media profile.

Thus, the Israeli president has stressed that his government adheres to the rule that whoever attacks Israel must prepare to receive a response; and has stressed that this norm applies both to the situation in Gaza and the West Bank, and to “the line of fire” in Lebanon, Syria and also Iran.

“Today more than ever the forces of light in the world must unite and work together against the dark regime that is the source of terror and evil in our region. They must stand with Israel. The world’s choice has never been so clear,” stressed a Netanyahu who has once again committed to achieving “all the objectives of the war.”

ATTACK IN TEL AVIV

On the other hand, Netanyahu dedicated a few words in solidarity with the families of the six killed and the nine injured in the attack that occurred this Tuesday afternoon at a tram station in a neighborhood of Tel Aviv.

“As in the missile attack, behind this attack there is also a murderous and intentional hand. It comes from Tehran,” the Israeli president stated, thus directly attributing responsibility for the shooting to the Iranian regime.

The Israel Police have detailed that the shooting occurred around 7:00 p.m. (local time) and that two “terrorists” were involved, who were later “neutralized” by the agents in the area.

The commander of the Tel Aviv district police, Haim Sergof, has detailed that the two attackers boarded the train, where they fired several shots. Later, they got out of the car and continued shooting in the street.
