Katz: Residents of Tehran Will Pay the Price for Overnight Attacks on Israel
- On the night of June 16, 2025, Iran launched about 100 ballistic missiles targeting central and northern Israel, causing explosions in cities including Jerusalem and Haifa.
- This missile barrage came in response to Israel's 'Rising Lion' operation, which targeted and eliminated Iranian commanders and experts involved in the country's nuclear program in Tehran, further intensifying the ongoing tensions.
- In response, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz vowed imminent reprisals on Tehran, threatening strikes on government buildings and infrastructure similar to attacks in Beirut.
- Katz called Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei an "arrogant dictator" and a "cowardly murderer," while Israeli hospitals treated 287 injured from Iranian missile strikes that killed at least eight civilians.
- The intensified conflict shows no signs of abating, raising concerns of wider regional escalation as both sides exchange fire and civilians face repeated danger.
