The Latest News from Nigeria and Around the World
An Israeli army battle tank moves in an area along the border with the Gaza Strip and southern Israel on April 2, 2024 amid the ongoing conflict in the Palestinian territory between Israel and the militant group Hamas. Israel was on alert Thursday after its arch foe Iran threatened reprisals over a strike in Syria this month that killed two Iranian generals, and as the war against Hamas ground on in Gaza.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz swiftly replied to Khamenei on social media site X that “if Iran attacks from its territory, Israel will respond and attack Iran”. “It is very important for everybody to exercise restraint in order not to destabilise the region, which is already not gifted with stability or predictability,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
Iran has said it had no advance knowledge of the October 7 attack but has hailed the assault against its decades-old enemy. “We hear the sounds of missiles falling near us before they explode, which is causing panic among my children and other family members.”
