Defence Minister Israel Katz has chillingly warned ‘Tehran will burn’ if more missiles are fired at Israel, following a barrage of ballistic weapons fired by Iran on Friday night which have killed at least three people and left dozens injured.
Katz said: ‘The Iranian dictator is turning the citizens of Iran into hostages and bringing about a reality in which they – especially the residents of Tehran – will pay a heavy price because of the criminal harm to Israeli civilians.
‘If (Ayatollah Ali) Khamenei continues to fire missiles toward the Israeli home front – Tehran will burn.’
His defiant stance came as more than 150 ballistic missiles were fired against Israel, with some striking residential buildings and military sites, including the IDF headquarters.
The Iranian strikes on Israel came as ‘painful revenge’ for a series of IDF attacks on the heart of Iran’s nuclear program and its armed forces.
Social media video showed interceptor missiles blasting off before a flash, a boom and an explosion of a warhead incoming.
