“We cannot stand idly by in the face of such aggression, Iran will not emerge unscathed“said the army spokesman, Daniel Hagariduring a visit organized for the press to a base in southern Israel.

“Firing 110 missiles directly at Israel will not go unpunished. We will respond when, where, and in the manner we determine.”he added.

The Israeli army showed a group of journalists one of the missiles intercepted during the Iranian attack and recovered in the Dead Sea.

“Their only intention was to kill and destroy Israeli lives and Israel”declared another army spokesman, Peter Lerner.

“Yeah [los misiles y drones] had not been intercepted, the magnitude [de los daños] would have been huge”he added.

Hagari, in turn, said that while the world was talking about the “Iran nuclear threat”, Tehran was “building a conventional threat, with the intention of creating a ring of fire around Israel.”

Iran launched an unprecedented attack against Israel on Saturday night, in response to the bombing of its consulate in Damascus, the Syrian capital, on April 1, which it attributed to the Jewish state.

Israel claimed to have intercepted, with the help of the United States and other allied countries such as France, the United Kingdom, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, almost all of the 350 drones and missiles launched by the Islamic Republic against its territory.
