Israel will “exact the price” in response to Iran’s massive missile and drone attack when the time comes, Israeli War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz said yesterday (April 14th).
“We will build a regional coalition and Iran will pay us in a way and at a time that suits us,” Gantz said in a statement as Israel’s war cabinet was due to meet to discuss Israel’s response to the Iranian attack.
Israel’s war cabinet, which includes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the country’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Gantz, was scheduled to meet at 3:30 p.m. to discuss a response to the attack.
The Iranian government earlier hailed its unprecedented attack on Israel as a success and noted that as far as it was concerned the military operation was now over, saying they had hit most of the military targets they had planned in retaliation for Israel’s attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus April 1st. A spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces said 99 percent of more than 300 Iranian missiles and drones had been intercepted.
To recall, on Saturday night, April 13th, Iran launched hundreds of aircraft toward Israel.
