00:00These images show a barrage of missiles raining down on Tel Aviv,
00:04as Iran launched an unprecedented attack against Israel on the 1st of October.
00:09The shells were for the most part intercepted by the Iron Dome,
00:13Israel's famous missile defence system.
00:16Nevertheless, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed revenge.
00:21Iran made a big mistake tonight, and it will pay for it.
00:25The regime in Iran does not understand our determination to defend ourselves
00:30and our determination to retaliate against our enemies.
00:33A retaliation against Iran was potentially delayed for two reasons.
00:38First, by a Hezbollah drone attack on Benjamin Netanyahu's residence last week.
00:43Then, two US intelligence documents outlining an Israeli counter-attack
00:48were leaked to the press on Tuesday.
00:51Despite that, a reply remained a priority for Israel.
00:55Our counter-offensive on Iran's axis of evil enemies
00:59is a necessary condition for having our security and our future.
01:03While American Secretary of State Antony Blinken is currently on a trip to the region,
01:08the United States says it was informed of the attack but played no part.
