“If Iran launches an attack from its territory, Israel will respond inside Iran,” Katz wrote on the X social media platform.
This comes after Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said that Israel “must and will be punished” for attacking the Iranian consulate complex in Syria.
He added in a speech on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr: “The evil regime made a mistake and must be punished, and it will be punished.”
An air strike that Syrian and Iranian officials attributed to Israel destroyed the Iranian consulate headquarters in Damascus, killing two leaders, including the most senior Iranian military official in Syria, and members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard reported that 7 of its members, including Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi and Brigadier General Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi, were killed in the strike.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the death toll from the strike that targeted the Iranian consulate in Damascus reached 16 people.
