Israeli ambassador to Germany, Ron Prossor, warned of future retaliatory strikes on Iranian military facilities , DPA reported, BTA reported.
Israel would not attack civilian targets, although Tehran's attacks were certainly aimed at civilian targets, Prossor told Germany's Welt TV, as quoted by DPA. The Israeli response will be “against the military installations of the mullahs and ayatollahs”, Prosor said. He added that Israel must respond. It is important for the region that this deterrence is “very clear”.
The ambassador declined to give further details, saying that when, where and how the counterstrike would take place would be decided by the war cabinet. He called on Israel's allies to understand Israel's position and to impose tougher sanctions on Iran.
While Israel listened to its allies, it had to respond to an unprovoked Iranian attack with more than 300 rockets aimed at killing Israeli citizens, Prosor said. Iran carried out the attack over the weekend with more than 300 rockets, cruise missiles and drones. Israeli and allied defenses intercepted almost all incoming fire. Iran justified its attack as a response to an attack on the Iranian consulate in the Syrian capital Damascus, believed to have been carried out by Israel. Two Iranian generals and five officers were killed in the strike.
