Ordinary Israelis, Iranians ‘don’t want confrontation’: Leaders ‘who wage war never pay the price’ [Video]

Israel’s military chief Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi on Monday vowed “a response” after Iran and its allies launched a barrage of over 300 missiles, drones and rockets at Israel at the weekend. Iran said its large-scale attack was an act of self-defence following a deadly Israeli air strike on its consulate in Syria, and that it would consider the matter “concluded” unless Israel retaliated.
