Strike on Iran will make world understand Israel’s might, says defence minister

Yoav Gallant says his country still intends to strike back in response to 1 October missile attack by Tehran

Planned airstrikes on Iran will make the world understand Israel's military might, the Israeli defence minister, Yoav Gallant, has said.

The Middle East has been braced for more than three weeks for a threatened Israeli response to Iran's 1 October missile attack, which was in turn a reprisal for Israel's killing of the Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
