Iran’s retaliatory attacks against Israel ‘among largest in history’: Netanyahu
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described the retaliatory attacks that Iran has carried out against the occupied Palestinian territories as being “among the largest in history.”
“Iran has twice fired hundreds of missiles” towards the territories, he said of the retaliation in a video message that was released on Saturday.
On Tuesday, the Islamic Republic launched 200 missiles towards Israeli military and intelligence bases all over the occupied territories as part of Operation True Promise II in response to the Israeli regime’s deadly aggression against the country and other regional nations.
The aggression that prompted the retaliation had, among other things, led to the martyrdom of Hamas’s political leader Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah’s leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and Abbas Nilforoushan, a senior commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
Back in April too, the country had fired more than 300 missiles and drones against the territories in an operation codenamed True Promise in reprisal for deadly aggression by the regime against Iranian diplomatic facilities in the Syrian capital of Damascus.
Netanyahu alleged that the regime “has the duty and the right to defend itself and respond to these attacks — and we will do so.”
Tehran has vowed to respond to potential repetition of the regime’s aggression against the country with multiple magnitude, targeting all of the regime’s infrastructures.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Netanyahu claimed that Iran was “behind all the attacks” that has been carried out against the regime.
This is while, the Islamic Republic has repeatedly asserted that it maintains no “proxy groups” in the region, noting that the regional resistance groups that have been targeting the regime in response to its violations act on their own initiative and with their own resources.
The Israeli premier said the regime was bent on keeping up its acts of aggression, alleging that “our arms are still outstretched [for more action].”
He, meanwhile, claimed that the regime had destroyed “a large part” of Hezbollah’s defensive stockpile.
The movement has, however, kept up its retaliatory operations against the occupied territories, and pledged to make the regime regret its deadly attacks against the group and the Lebanese people.
