New Delhi: The ongoing war between Iran and Israel entered its seventh day on Thursday, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warning that “no one is safe in Iran,” including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
In a strongly worded statement, Netanyahu said, “We will recover the full price of the attack on Israel from Iran.” His comments came hours after Iran launched missile strikes on four Israeli cities—Tel Aviv, Beersheba, Ramat Gan, and Holon.
According to Israeli authorities, Iran fired 30 missiles, seven of which struck key locations, including the Israeli stock exchange in Tel Aviv and a hospital in Beersheba. The attack left 176 people injured, with six in critical condition. Israel’s air defense systems reportedly intercepted the remaining missiles.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz also issued a harsh response, calling Khamenei a “modern Hitler” and stating, “A dictator like Khamenei does not have the right to live.” He accused Iran of attempting to destroy Israel through its regional proxies.
The recent strikes have brought the Israeli death toll to 24, while a Washington-based human rights group has claimed that 639 people have been killed in Iran, with another 1,329 injured in retaliatory actions.
Meanwhile, India has begun evacuating its citizens from the conflict zone. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs announced the launch of “Operation Sindhu” to facilitate the safe exit of Indian nationals from Israel through land borders.
