Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued veiled threats to Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, and Hezbollah on Thursday (12 March), during his first press conference since the conflict with Iran began.
Asked what action Israel might take against Khamenei and Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem, Netanyahu said: “I wouldn’t issue life insurance policies on any of the leaders of the terrorist organisation.”
Speaking from Jerusalem via video link, the Israeli leader said Iran was “no longer the same” after nearly two weeks of bombardment, adding that Tehran had suffered significant blows to its elite Revolutionary Guards Corps.
His comments came as Iran and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah continued to fire missiles and drones into Israel.
Iran-backed Hezbollah has been launching missiles into Israel since 2 March, days after U.S.–Israeli strikes killed Iran’s former Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.
Israel’s national emergency medical service, Magen David Adom, said 33 people had been injured in an Iranian missile strike targeting northern Israel on Friday.
Israel, meanwhile, warned Lebanon on Friday to expect further attacks unless Iran-backed Hezbollah was disarmed.
Lebanese authorities say Israeli strikes have killed nearly 700 people and displaced 800,000 others.
Israel says the aim of its attacks on Iran is to eliminate what it considers to be an existential threat posed by Tehran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.
