Prime Minister Netanyahu at the scene of the missile fall in Bat Yam: "Iran will pay a very heavy price for the deliberate murder of civilians, women and children."
"I am here in Bat Yam with the Home Front Command forces, the rescue forces. On behalf of the entire people of Israel, I express sorrow for the loss of life that occurred here. Our hearts are with the families.
It is necessary and important to obey the instructions because those who heard and carried out the instructions of the Home Front Command, and were in a protected area, were saved. Those who did not, unfortunately, were harmed.
We are here because we are in an existential struggle, which is now understandable to all citizens of Israel. Think about what would happen if Iran had nuclear weapons to land on Israeli cities.
Think about what would happen if Iran had 20,000 such missiles. Not one - 20,000 of them. An existential threat to Israel. That is why we went on a war of salvation against a double threat of annihilation, and we are doing it with pride. Our soldiers, our pilots above the skies of Iran. Iran will pay a very heavy price for the murder of civilians, women, children, which they did intentionally. We will both achieve our goal and land a single blow on them. They will feel the comfort of our arm.
Until then, and during this war, I ask you to obey the instructions of the Home Front Command. It will save your lives.
"And you will be very careful for your souls" - take care of your soul, take care of your body, take care of your life - and together, with God's help, we will win. We are on the way to victory."
