The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has warned that whoever harms his country will in turn be harmed.
The Prime Minister said this in a statement on Saturday evening in reaction to Iran’s drone attacks towards Israel.
In recent weeks, Israel and its allies such as the US and UK have been preparing for a direct attack by Iran.
However, Netanyahu warned, “Our defensive systems are deployed; we are ready for any scenario, both defensively and offensively,” he said.
“The State of Israel is strong. The IDF is strong. The public is strong.
“We appreciate the US standing alongside Israel, as well as the support of Britain, France and many other countries.
“We have determined a clear principle: Whoever harms us, we will harm them. We will defend ourselves against any threat and will do so level-headedly and with determination.
“Citizens of Israel, I know that you also are level-headed. I call on you to follow the directives of IDF Home Front Command.
“Together we will stand and with God’s help – together we will overcome all of our enemies.”
