Israel has ordered its military to intensify its strikes on Tehran, in retaliation for Iran’s latest missile barrage.
Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, said Tehran’s “tyrants” would pay the “full price” for bombing civilians, adding that the result of the conflict could be the downfall of the regime.
Iranian missiles carrying large warheads hit residential buildings near Tel Aviv, and Soroka hospital in southern Israel, causing extensive damage and injuring more than 200 across the country this morning.
Israel Katz, Israel’s defence minister, said the army would escalate its attacks “against strategic targets in Iran and against government targets in Tehran” in order to destabilise the “Ayatollah regime”.
He added that Iran’s supreme leader “can no longer be allowed to exist”. Mr Netanyahu has also refused to rule out a strike on Ali Khamenei.
