Israel reacted to Iran's statements for the first time

Tel Aviv emphasized that it does not pay attention to Iran's threats, because they do not scare it.
Today, Iran threatens to destroy Israel if Israel fully responds to Hezbollah's attacks from Lebanon. "My answer to Iran is clear. If Hezbollah does not cease fire and withdraw from southern Lebanon, we will act against it with full force until security is restored and residents can return to their homes," Israel Katz emphasized.
The diplomat also drew attention to the fact that "the regime that threatens to be destroyed deserves to be destroyed."
