Israel Katz: “Tehran's residents would pay the price for Iranian strikes on Israeli civilians.”

If Iran attacks Israel due to the events in Lebanon - we will attack it with all our might.

The IDF will continue to defend our borders and our citizens from the peak of Mount Hermon, the mountains of Lebanon, the areas of our land in the Samaria region, and most of the territory of Gaza.

This is how the IDF acted today in eliminating Hamas terrorists, and this is how it will continue to act with force to protect our soldiers and ensure quiet in the southern settlements - from the security zone.

Our policy for defending the borders of the State of Israel, as led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and by me as Defense Minister together with the IDF, is clear.
