Israel launches new attacks and says "Tehran will burn" if Iran continues firing missiles.

Israel launched a new wave of attacks on Saturday against at least four locations in Iranian territory, according to Iranian media reports, following Iran's missile counterattack early this morning.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday that if Iran continues firing missiles at Israeli territory, "Tehran will burn."

" The Iranian dictator is holding Iran's citizens hostage and demonstrating that they, and particularly the residents of Tehran, will pay a heavy price for the criminal damage caused to the citizens of Israel. If Khamenei continues firing missiles at Israel's home front, Tehran will burn ," Katz threatened in a statement.
