Israeli official says civilians in Iran will not be targeted

An Israeli official told Iran International that Israel’s strikes in Iran are limited to precision strikes on military and government-linked targets, while warning that any attacks by Tehran on Israeli civilians will prompt a firm response.

“In any instance where Iran targets civilians — as occurred last night — Israel will retaliate to establish a clear boundary,” the official said. However, the source emphasized that even in retaliation, “Israel will not target Iranian civilians.”
