Local time on June 16, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned on social media that the people of Tehran, the capital of Iran, would "pay the price" for Iran's attack on Israeli civilians.
In the early hours of the morning on the 16th, Iran fired missiles at Tel Aviv, a densely populated area in Israel, and its surrounding cities as well as the Haifa region. According to the Jerusalem Post, by the morning of the local time on the 16th, Iran's attack had caused 24 deaths and more than 300 injuries.
In his social media post, Defense Minister Katz wrote: "This arrogant dictator from Tehran (Khamenei) has become a cowardly killer, and his forces deliberately fire at Israeli civilians in an attempt to stop the Israeli army from continuing its offensive to weaken their military strength." Katz stated that the residents of Tehran would soon pay the price for this.
