Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has warned Iran that they will soon pay the price for targeting Israeli civilians.
"The boastful dictator from Tehran has become a cowardly murderer, deliberately firing at Israel’s civilian home front in an attempt to deter the IDF from continuing an offensive that is dismantling his capabilities," Katz said.
He warned, "The residents of Tehran will pay the price — and soon."
Later, Katz clarified: "I wish to make the obvious clear: There is no intention to physically harm the residents of Tehran, unlike what the murderous dictator does, targeting Israeli civilians."
"The residents of Tehran will be forced to pay the price of their dictatorship by evacuating areas where regime targets and military infrastructure in Tehran must be struck.
"We will continue to defend the people of Israel."
Meanwhile, the IDF announced Monday morning that the IAF identified and eliminated surface-to-air missile launch troops seconds before they reached a launcher south of Tehran.
The troops were eliminated and the launcher was dismantled.
