Katz: The Iranian regime has crossed red lines and will pay a heavy price.

Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz accused Iran of crossing red lines by targeting the home front, noting that Israeli strikes will continue to "eliminate threats." This follows Iranian attacks that caused deaths and widespread destruction in response to ongoing Israeli aggression.

Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz said on Saturday that the Iranian regime "crossed a red line by firing at the Israeli home front," adding that Tehran "will pay a heavy price."

This came in a statement issued by Katz at the conclusion of a security assessment session with the IDF Home Front Command. He said, "The central conclusion is that the residents' adherence to the instructions of the Home Front Command and the authorities saved many lives and reduced the extent of the damage."

Katz stressed the need to "continue to adhere to the instructions issued by official authorities."

He added, "It is worth noting the responsible management of the heads of local authorities, who work in coordination with the relevant authorities in their towns."

The Defense Minister noted that "our forces continue to attack Iran and strike strategic targets according to pre-planned planning, inflicting significant damage to Iranian capabilities and eliminating threats to the State of Israel."

This comes in the wake of waves of Iranian attacks on Israel that have killed at least three people, injured dozens, and caused total or partial damage to hundreds of residential apartments, particularly in the Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan areas.
