Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday targetted Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and said that "no one is immune" to Israeli attacks. He made the comments in response to a question during a tour of Soroka Medical Centre in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba, which came under Iranian missile attacks on Thursday morning.
“I gave instructions that no one is immune," he said. "I prefer not to deal with headlines and to let actions speak for themselves,” he added.
“During a war, words have to
be chosen with care, and actions with precision,” Netanyahu said, adding, “All the options are open. It’s best not to speak about this in the press”.
He also reiterated that Israel's operation in Iran was against its nuclear programme and missile stockpile to save his country, unlike “theirs that targets innocent civilians”.
"They fire at hospitals where people are unable to escape danger,” Netanyahu said. "This is the difference between a functioning democracy that adheres to the law and these murderers," he said.
