Following the recent Iranian attack on Israel, Israeli Ambassador to Germany Ron Prosor announced a counter-attack on Iranian military facilities.
Israel would not attack civilian targets, although Tehran’s attacks were certainly aimed at civilian targets, Prosor told German broadcaster Welt TV on Tuesday.
The Israeli response would be “against these military facilities of the mullahs and the ayatollahs,” Prosor said in German.
But he added that Israel would have to respond. It is important for the region that this deterrent is “very clear”.
While emphasizing Israel’s determination to respond, Prosor declined to provide details. “When, where and how – that is something for our war cabinet to decide,” he said.
He called on Israel’s allies to understand Israel’s position and impose stricter sanctions on Iran.
While Israel listened to its friends, it had to respond to Iran’s unprovoked attack with more than 300 missiles aimed at killing Israeli civilians, he said.
Iran fired more than 300 missiles, cruise missiles and drones into Israel this weekend. Israel and the allied defenses intercepted almost all the incoming fire.
Iran said it was in retaliation for a suspected Israeli attack on an Iranian diplomatic compound in Syria that killed two Iranian generals and five officers.
