New Delhi: Iran launched drones in the direction of Israel on Saturday evening in response to the air strike on its embassy in Syria. Retaliating to the assault, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that his nation has been bracing for a possible direct assault from Iran for years and can retaliate towards anybody who threatens them. Netanyahu emphasised Israel’s readiness, stating, “Lately, and particularly in latest weeks, Israel has been getting ready for a direct assault by Iran.
