Defence chief: Israel to intensify strikes on Iran

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said that Israel is preparing to escalate its military campaign against Iran, warning that strikes will intensify in response to continued missile fire targeting Israeli civilians.

“The prime minister and I warned the Iranian terror regime to stop the missile fire toward the civilian population in Israel. Despite the warnings, the fire continues, and therefore IDF strikes in Iran will intensify and expand to additional targets and domains that assist the regime in building and operating weapons against Israeli civilians,” he said during an assessment with military officials.

“They will pay heavy and increasing prices for this war crime,” Katz added, according to remarks provided by his office.
