Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has said that Israel will not hesitate to attack Iran if it feels threatened, several weeks after Israel’s 12-day war with Tehran ended, Al Jazeera reports.

“Israel’s long arm will reach you in Tehran, Tabriz, Isfahan and anywhere you try to threaten or harm Israel,” Katz said in remarks released by his office. “There is no place where you can hide. If we must go back, we will go back and with greater force.”
