Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi has warned Iran not to launch further attacks against Israel.
Speaking to aircrews at Ramon Air Base in southern Israel on October 29, Halevi said that if Iran “makes the mistake and launches another barrage of missiles at Israel, we will once again know how to reach Iran.”
The warning came after a series of Israeli strikes hit Iranian military targets, including air defenses and missile sites, on October 26. The strikes were themselves a response to a large-scale ballistic missile attack launched by Tehran against Israel on October 1.
The IDF chief warned that Israel would “reach Iran, with capabilities that we did not even use this time, and hit extremely hard both the capabilities and the places that we spared this time.”
He went on to say that the reason Israel held back when it struck Iranian missile factories and other sites on Saturday was because “we may be required to do it again.”
“We didn’t finish this event, we are right in the middle of it,” he added.
Israel used a secretive air-launched two-stage ballistic missile in the strikes on Iran. It is unclear what other long-range strike capabilities the IDF is still hiding.
Following the strikes, which claimed the lives of four officers, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that Iranian officials should determine how best to demonstrate Iran’s power to Israel, noting that the Israeli attack should “neither be downplayed nor exaggerated”.
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps chief Hossein Salami also said that Israel had “failed to achieve its ominous goals” but nevertheless said that the “bitter consequences will be unimaginable” for Israel.
In addition, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghei warned that Tehran would use “all available tools” to respond.
An Iranian response to the Israeli strikes could lead to a serious escalation and even an all-out war in the Middle East. At the same time, Israel could escalate even further against Iran and its allies if Tehran chose not to respond, as it would see this as a sign of weakness.
Hebrew media has already reported preparations for another attack against Iran under the pretext of responding to a Hezbollah drone attack that targeted the private residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in central Israel on October 19. Israel held Tehran responsible for the assassination attempt.

pfffff…..hahahahaha
they’re shitting in their boots lol, they know the iranian supersonic hammer is coming
be patient. in 2025 you will see israel, tel aviv and haifa that is, burn like it never has before.
the end of these fake indentity thief jews will be he for all to intake.
forget the popcorn- get the beers. the celebration of the freedom of humanity is near.
the terrorist state of israel will be destroyed by the semites of the holy region!!!
the jews are a really stupid tribe. they have only themselves to blame for their miserable situation
psychopaths perform very poorly in long term consequential thinking… poorly… gee let’s bankrupt our co-opted vasel states and clot shot vax our cannon fodder before we engage in a genocide against 4 billion people for world zionist supremacy…
you are exceptionally good educated. a very few folks in west knows that palestinians are real semites and that “jews” are in reality non-semites – specifically khazars of khazaria empire origin with mongol dna
same dna as present-day ukraine. we used to call them ‘the name stealers’ a few centuries ago when i was younger….
the khazarians act exactly like the biblical amalek… israelis are actually projecting when they call us goys amalek…
exactly, before the mamluks and ottoman turks forced conversion to islam after taking the lands over from the romans and crusaders, only the rich could afford a head tax to avoid conversion; most palestinians were, christian, jewish, or orthodox semites back in the 1100’s to 1400’s…well, the mamluks only converted female slaves, they slaughtered everything else, kinda like israelis…turks had better manors.
halevi will be in the next cage naked when the victorious palestinians will send the jews on a round trip in the me to be shamed and pelted with whatever is around!
iran can enable anyone from anywhere to launch a drone at the zionists for the next 2000 years.
fact is that the jews are scared ****less since they have no viable defense against iran’s missiles and drones spread around the jewish occupied palestine. to start the houthis with long distance missiles that the morons ships in the red sea will attempt to take down, the iraqi resistance and hezbollah with their low flying drones under the radars and syria getting up to speed. and the jews have to ask momma about thaad-systems since the iron dome is useless.
the time that the jews could frighten the neighbours is over, the alliance will keep sending drones and missiles in an endless stream and that the jews won’t be able to handle. thus they will be forced out of the stolen land to go where. nowhere since no one will want them, not even the disunited states of a!
spot on, one of iran’s hypersonic missiles hit a thaad radar so perfectly in their last volly, such people were suspecting the russians were helping to aim them, however, that might be an israeli rumour to help zionists cope better with iranian capabilities…
that criminal should have been indicted a long time ago for genocide.
zase sa vyhrážajú. preto by mal irán odpovedať na útok ktorý izrael uskutočnil proti iránu. svetu mier!!!
israel has no path to victory, no ability to increase its military power. iran is getting stronger every day and the forces opposing israel are becoming vaster, while israel becomes tired, economically ravaged, and militarily depleted
yup, even the stock markets agree…
this clown only spouts this bombastic rhetoric because israel has the backing of a world superpower. israel on its own would already be destroyed. they couldn’t even attack iran without the help of neighboring countries like jordan letting them use their air space. they also had to rely on the united states to provide in air refueling for the planes to make it over iraq air space to attack iran.
why isn’t there any sam in the west part of iraq? i mean israhell used their airspace when attacking iran. maybe iran should hide some in the sands of the desert in iraq?
what’s he talking about? nuke it seems, what else will create such devastation from the zionist isrealis genocidel maniacs.
new capabilities eh? hasbarra and shiboleth more like it. watch out for that jewish space laser, the one mounted on the usaf plane that deep fried lahina…prolly dusting that off for a spin over iraq…
isn’t it wonderful, the israelis think that they have some credibility left. what ever happens in the future in palestine one thing is clear, israel will no longer exist in any fashion. zionism will no longer exist! and nothing america the cia or the oligarchs threat or intimidation bombing rape torture or mass murder and genocide will bring back western ownership of financial institutions or the possibility of ever being given that chance, by the free world.
israel will get smacked so fucking hard, it wont even be recognizable
zionist child killers have lost.
