Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon has warned Iran that Israel’s response to almost 200 ballistic missiles launched at the country “will be painful”.
Iran has launched almost 200 ballistic missiles into Israel in a major escalation of the Middle East conflict.
Sirens were heard across the country as residents headed for bomb shelters.
Israel’s Iron Dome defence system was able to intercept most missiles; however, some were able to get through and land near Tel Aviv.
“We will decide about when and how we will respond, but I can tell you one thing: it will be noticed; it will be painful, and I think the people of Iran who are watching us understand that it is not against the Iranian people, it’s against the radical regime that dragged the Iranian people into this situation,” Mr Danon said.
