Israel's Foreign Ministry responded to Iranian threats, calling the regime liars and reiterating that it was Hezbollah that attacked Israel. The ministry declared it will not tolerate fire into its territory. Separately, Israeli Channel 14 reports a current domestic assessment that Iran will carry out a missile launch from its territory toward Israel.
Israel's Foreign Ministry issued a categorical denial of Iranian threats this afternoon, stating: "The regime, as usual, is lying. It is Hezbollah, Iran's proxy, that attacked Israel. We will not tolerate fire into our territory." The statement came at 16:50 Jerusalem time, shortly after a parallel assessment reported by Israeli Channel 14 that the current evaluation in Israel is that Iran will carry out a missile launch from its territory toward Israel. As The Zioneer reported at 16:45, an earlier assessment circulated by commentator Hallel Bitton Rosen had already flagged exactly such a scenario, without specifying a timeframe or scale. The Foreign Ministry's explicit framing — naming Hezbollah as the attacker and accusing Iran of disinformation — appears calibrated to preempt any attempted denial of responsibility from Tehran. The assessment of an imminent Iranian launch remains single-sourced (Channel 14) and unconfirmed by official Israeli channels. The ministry's statement is official and on-record.
