Israel-Iran: Netanyahu vows Iran 'will pay' as missile barrage launched on Israel

Iran “has made a big mistake” and “will pay” for attacking Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu has said.

The Israeli prime minister vowed to retaliate after Tehran fired a wave of at least 180 missiles, including dozens of ballistic missiles, at Israeli cities in the centre and south of the country.

He told his cabinet on Tuesday that Iran “does not understand” his country’s “determination to retaliate” against its enemies.

“They will understand,” he said. “We will stand by the rule we established: whoever attacks us – we will attack him.”

An Israeli official told The Telegraph that the attack – a major escalation in the months-long conflict in the Middle East – signalled that war had been declared on Israel.

The US, which was involved in shooting down the barrage, said there will be “severe consequences” for Iran, while Downing Street “completely condemns” Tehran’s actions and has called for de-escalation across the region.

Iran has threatened more “crushing attacks” on Israel if it chooses to respond, claiming that 80 per cent of its missiles hit their targets.

Israel said that it intercepted a “large number” of missiles fired by Iran at the country, but added there were a few “hits”. One Palestinian in the West Bank was reportedly killed by shrapnel.

A 22, 000 km2 state (smaller than the Russian Crimea) really does not want to be taking on a 1, 600, 000 km2 state.
