Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Iran made a 'big mistake' by launching a missile attack on Israel. Netanyahu vowed that Iran would 'pay for it' and emphasized Israel's determination to retaliate against any aggressors. The missile attack, which involved nearly 200 missiles, was largely intercepted by Israeli defense systems. The attack is seen as a retaliation for Israel's military actions against Hezbollah allies in Lebanon. Netanyahu's statements were made during the opening of a security cabinet meeting, where he reiterated Israel's policy of responding forcefully to any attacks. He also mentioned that Sinwar, Deif, and Nasrallah did not understand Israel's determination to defend itself.
