Netanyahu threatens Iran, says Israel will defend itself

JERUSALEM – Israel braced on Thursday for the possibility of a retaliatory attack after its suspected killing of Iran ian generals in Damascus this week, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country would harm "whoever harms us or plans to harm us."

"For years, Iran has been acting against us both directly and via its proxies; therefore, Israel is acting against Iran and its proxies, defensively and offensively," Netanyahu said at the start of a security cabinet meeting late on Thursday. Reuters journalists and residents of Israel's commercial hub Tel Aviv said GPS services had been disrupted, an apparent measure to help ward off guided missiles.

Israel has been pressing its war on Hamas in Gaza since the Palestinian Islamists led a cross-border killing and kidnapping spree on Oct. 7, and has also been trading fire almost daily with Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon.Until now, Iran has avoided directly entering the fray, while supporting allies' attacks on Israeli and US targets.

Such proxy strikes on US forces in the region ceased in February after Washington retaliated for the killing of three US soldiers in Jordan with dozens of air strikes on targets in Syria and Iraq linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps and militias it supports. One US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there was a growing concern Iran would make good on its threats to retaliate, raising the risk of volatile, regional escalation.
