Israeli military spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said Iran would not get off "scot-free".
Israel and Iran traded threats on Tuesday after Tehran's first-ever direct attack on its arch-foe sharply heightened regional tensions as the Gaza war ground on with no truce in sight. Israeli military spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said Iran would not get off "scot-free" after Tehran and its allies launched a barrage of over 300 missiles, drones and rockets at Israel at the weekend.
"We cannot stand still from this kind of aggression," Hagari said, a day after Israel's military chief vowed there would be "a response" to Iran's offensive.
Iran said its attack was an act of self-defence following a deadly Israeli air strike on its consulate in Syria, and that it would consider the matter "concluded" unless Israel retaliated.
