Israel's military chief vows revenge after Iran rocket attack

Israel's military chief, Eyal Zamir, has promised a forceful response to Iran's recent rocket attack, contingent on receiving the government's approval. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) issued a statement late Sunday conveying Zamir's vow to "attack the enemy with force as soon as there is a green light."

“

IDF shall attack the enemy with force as soon as there is a green light.

This potential escalation follows a report by Axios that U.S. President Donald Trump intended to call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and urge restraint. Trump reportedly stated that any Israeli retaliation would prolong the conflict and expressed a desire to avoid jeopardizing a "final deal with Iran."

If Netanyahu responds to the attack, this will just continue for another 47 years or for 3000 years.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed responsibility for the attack, identifying the target as the Ramat David military airbase southeast of Haifa. They described the strike as a warning, asserting that the U.S. and Israel had not upheld their commitments under the ceasefire agreement that took effect on April 8. Sunday's attack marked the first direct strike from Iran against Israel since that ceasefire began.

The Iranian rocket attack did not harm anyone, so hopefully Israel will not retaliate.
