Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel said Tuesday that Iran’s missile attacks “deliberately targeting civilians” in Israel would not deter the country from responding.

“Striking homes and families is not strength. It’s terror,” Haskel wrote on X, vowing Israel would continue to strike “the regime responsible” for the assault.

She said Israel would prevail “for our children, our families, and our security.”
