Defense Minister Yisroel Katz issued a strong warning on Friday following Iran’s large-scale launch of ballistic missiles aimed at Israeli cities. He declared that the attack had violated fundamental boundaries and emphasized that Israel would act to protect its people while making sure that Iran’s leadership faces severe consequences.
“Iran crossed red lines when it dared to fire missiles at civilian population centers in Israel,” he said in a statement. “We will continue to defend Israel’s citizens and ensure that the ayatollah regime pays a very heavy price for its heinous actions.”

President Trump signaled on Friday that he still sees potential for securing a new nuclear agreement with Iran, despite Israel’s massive military strike on Iranian nuclear and defense infrastructure just hours prior.
“Maybe now they will negotiate seriously,” Trump said in a short interview with Axios, which came shortly after a phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and ahead of a full day of meetings with his national security staff.
“They should have made a deal,” Trump continued. “I couldn’t get them to a deal in 60 days. They were close, they should have done it. Maybe now it will happen.”

Iran launched a massive barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel late Friday night, as sirens blared across the country and civilians rushed to bomb shelters. The IDF confirmed that it had detected the launch of over dozens of ballistic missiles from Iran, with many aimed at central Israel, including Tel Aviv and the Gush Dan region. The assault follows Israeli strikes on Iranian military and nuclear targets, which have left the Islamic Republic reeling. Interceptor missiles lit up the night sky over Israel as air defense systems attempted to neutralize the incoming threat. Multiple interceptions were observed, including near Jerusalem and central Israel, though at least some missiles managed to penetrate the defensive shield.
