Netanyahu says Israel will strike Iran again if attacked

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that Israel will strike Iran again if attacked, following a series of tit-for-tat strikes between the two countries. The exchanges have raised fears of a broader regional war, though both sides have indicated a temporary halt to direct hostilities.

Netanyahu also rejected what he called a new 'security equation' imposed by Iran and Hezbollah. Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that any Hezbollah attack on Israel would lead to Israeli strikes in Beirut. Fighting continues in Lebanon, even as direct Iran-Israel strikes have paused.
