Israel is prepared to retaliate against any threats it faces, as stated by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following Iran’s drone attacks in response to the bombing of an Iranian diplomatic compound in Syria. Tehran has accused Israel of the airstrike that resulted in the deaths of seven IRGC Quds Force officers, including high-ranking generals, although Israel has not officially commented on the incident.
Netanyahu emphasized that Israel has been anticipating a direct attack from Iran for years, especially in recent weeks, and assured that defensive systems are in place to handle any potential threats. He expressed gratitude towards the US, UK, France, and other supportive countries for standing by Israel during this tense situation.
In response to the escalating tensions, Netanyahu convened his war cabinet in Tel Aviv, while the US President Joe Biden’s team maintained close communication with Israeli officials. The White House reiterated its support for Israel in a press release, underscoring the importance of international cooperation during such critical times.
