In another post, he said, "The strikes of the resistance front on the worn-out and decaying body of the Zionist regime will be more striking."

Reuven Azar, Israel's Ambassador to India, said that Israel is under attack from Iran.

In a post on X, he said, "Israel under attack from Iran. Israel will prevail. Iran's fanatic genocidal theocrats have made a fatal mistake."

Speaking about Iran's large-scale attack, Israel Defence Forces Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that Iran's attack is a severe and dangerous escalation. There will be consequences.

"Iran launched a large-scale attack of over 180 ballistic missiles directly from Iranian soil at the State of Israel. There were a small number of hits in the center of Israel and some other hits in the southern Israel. The majority of the incoming missiles were intercepted by Israel and a defensive coalition led by the United States. Iran's attack is a severe and dangerous escalation. There will be consequences," he said.

Hagari added that they will respond to the attack whenever and however they choose.

Iran and its proxies have been attacking Israel since the 7th of October on seven fronts. Iran and its proxies seek the destruction of Israel. The Israel Defence Forces will continue doing everything, everything necessary to defend the State of Israel and protect the people of Israel," he said.
