The Israeli military has vowed to expand its attacks across Lebanon after Iran fired missiles towards Israel in response to Israeli strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs.
“The (Iranian) regime is attempting to establish a new equation through direct attacks on Israeli territory in response to IDF operations in Dahiyeh,” military spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin said in a televised statement.
Defrin defended Israel’s attack on Beirut’s southern suburbs and signalled more strikes on Lebanon.
“We struck in Dahiyeh in response to Hezbollah’s relentless attacks on the communities of northern Israel. The IDF will continue to operate throughout Lebanon and will intensify its actions against the Hezbollah terrorist organisation.”
“The Iranian terrorist regime has made a grave mistake by once again choosing the path of terror,” Defrin said.
