Israel's defense minister warns Iran it may 'end up' like Gaza, Beirut

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned Iran on Sunday that it might end up looking like Gaza or Beirut if the Islamic Republic was considering an attempt to harm Israel.

"The Iranians did not touch the air force's capabilities –- no aircraft was damaged, no squadron was taken out of order," Gallant said in a statement, referring to Iran's recent missile strike on Israel that hit two bases of the Israeli air force.

"Whoever thinks that a mere attempt to harm us will deter us from taking action should take a look at (our achievements) in Gaza and Beirut."
