Israel's defense minister warned Saturday that "Tehran will burn" if Iran continues firing missiles at Israel. Iran's retaliatory strikes come after Israel unleashed a series of blistering attacks on Iran's nuclear program and armed forces on Thursday.
Speaking after an assessment meeting with the army's chief of staff, Defense Minister Israel Katz said Iran will pay a heavy price for harming Israeli citizens. At least three people have died in Israel, and dozens wounded, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) officials said Saturday morning. Iran's U.N. ambassador said at least 78 people have died and hundreds have been wounded in Iran from Israel's strikes.
"If (Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali) Khamenei continues to fire missiles at the Israeli home front — Tehran will burn," Katz said.
