Gallant vows 'lethal, precise and surprising' strike on Iran

W300

Israel's defense minister warned on Wednesday that the Israeli retaliation for a recent Iranian missile attack will be "lethal" and "surprising."

"Our strike will be lethal, precise and above all, surprising. They won't understand what happened and how. They will see the results," Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said during a speech to troops. "Whoever strikes us will be harmed and pay a price."

Iran fired dozens of missiles at Israel on Oct. 1 which the United States helped fend off. U.S. President Joe Biden has said he would not support a retaliatory strike on sites related to Tehran's nuclear program.
