Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel are not fidgeting to war cry from Iran as they issue a stark warning to whoever that will attack them.
Israel is getting ready for possible Iranian retaliation for the killing of a senior general and six other Iranian officers in an airstrike on an Iranian embassy annex building in Damascus on April 1.
Word From Iran
While it has not claimed responsibility, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said on Wednesday that Israel ‘must be punished and it shall be’ for the attack.
Israel Replies
Israel in response told his troops ‘whoever hurts us, we hurt him’ as the Prime minister vowed to also strengthen Israel’s ‘defence and attack’ capabilities.
Israel’s Prime Minister said that it won’t matter if the country is in the midst of the war in Gaza, which he said is ‘continuing in full force’, the country is ‘also preparing for scenarios of challenges in other arenas.’
Europe are not taking the threats from both sides lightly as Russia and Germany have now urged countries in the Middle East to show restraint – amid fears that tit-for-tat retaliatory strikes could spiral into a full-scale conflict.

The attack by Iran or its proxies against military and government targets in Israel are imminent, Bloomberg News reported citing intelligence sources, with one source saying it is more a matter of when, not if.
Netanyahu made his comments as Israeli troops and warplanes started an operation in central Gaza overnight which the military said was aimed at destroying Hamas infrastructure.
