Israeli Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant has described Iran as a country of terror following last night’s attacks.
The successful interception of Iran’s attack comes at a time when Israel is bogged down in its war against Hamas in Gaza.
Israel and Iran have been on a collision course throughout the former’s six-month attack on the Gaza Strip.
The Iran-led strikes, less than two weeks after an Israeli attack on Syria that killed two Iranian generals in an Iranian consular building marked the first time Iran has launched a direct military assault on Israel despite decades of enmity dating back to the country’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Reacting, Gallant said: “The Iranian attack was blocked in the most impressive way, together with our partners, the Americans and others.
”The entire world saw today who is Iran – a country of terror.”
