As tensions between the two countries rose over an Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate building in Damascus, the Syrian capital, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu implicitly threatened Tehran without naming names, saying “whoever harms us, we will harm him.”
Prime Minister Netanyahu visited the country’s Tel Nof air base and made assessments regarding a possible attack by Iran, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office said.
Netanyahu said his country is in a position to meet all of its defense and offensive security needs.
He asserted that Israel is going through a difficult period and said that they are continuing with the attacks in Gaza at full speed, and on the other hand, they are continuing with the continuous efforts for the return of Israeli prisoners.
Noting that they are prepared for some difficult scenarios in other regions, Netanyahu said:
“We set a simple rule: Whoever harms us, we will harm him.”
Israel’s Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz, in his post on Platform X, stated that he would respond and target this country if an attack on Israel was launched from Iranian territory.
Israel is bracing for possible retaliation from Iran after Revolutionary Guard leader Mohammad Reza Zahidi was killed during an Israeli attack on the embassy in Damascus, the Syrian capital, on April 1.
The attack killed seven people from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, including two generals. In addition, six more Syrian citizens lost their lives in the attack, AA writes.
