Israel warns Iran will be sent back decades if strikes on cities continue

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israel would send Iran “back decades” if it continues targeting cities, accusing Tehran of deliberately firing on civilian population centers.

“If this continues, we’ll be sure to hit Iran so hard it will be sent back decades,” Katz said while visiting the site of a missile strike in Arad that injured scores.

Katz said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was “intentionally firing at population centers” to pressure the Israeli government to stop the war. “This won’t happen,” he said. “The home front is strong.”
