Israel: We will make Iran pay the price of aggression in due time

"Israel will make Iran pay the price for today's attack. But he will have to do it at the right time."

So said Cabinet Minister of War Benny Gantz.

"We will build a regional coalition and take the prize from Iran in the way and time that is right for us."

Meanwhile, the session of the Israeli war cabinet began shortly before 15:00 in which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Benny Gantz will discuss how to respond to last night's Iranian attack.

Meanwhile, Israeli airspace reopened this morning following Iran's unprecedented major strike on the country, local media reported after a seven-hour airspace closure.

The Israeli military said it has intercepted 99% of the missiles fired by Iran.

"Tehran had launched "over 300 drones and missiles of various types", Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari said today.

"The Iranian threat met the IDF's air and technological superiority, along with a strong fighting coalition - which together captured most of them," he added.

Hagar spoke of a strategic and very significant achievement. Of the 170 unmanned missiles launched by Iran, none of them managed to cross Israeli territory."

"Dozens were shot down by Israeli warplanes, Israeli air defense and air defense systems and our partners' aircraft," he said.

Of the more than 30 missiles fired by Iran, none had reached Israel.

"Out of over 120 ballistic missiles, only a few passed into Israeli territory, while the rest were intercepted," Hagari said.

These fell on the Nevatim Air Force base, causing only minor damage to the infrastructure.

"Attacks were also launched from Iraq and Yemen, but did not reach Israel," the spokesman said.

"Dozens of rockets were fired from Lebanon into northern Israel, but no one was injured," he added.

"During the last six months, we have been operating in close coordination with our partners, led by US CENTCOM, Great Britain, France and other countries that operated last night," Hagari said.

For the first time in the history of the Islamic Republic, Iran directly attacked its enemy, Israel. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had shot down dozens of drones and missiles.

The operation was a revenge attack for the killing of senior Iranian officers in Syria. On April 1, two brigadier generals were killed during a suspected Israeli airstrike on the Iranian embassy compound in the Syrian capital, Damascus.
