\u201cIran crossed red lines when it dared to fire missiles toward civilian population centers in Israel. We will continue to defend Israel\u2019s citizens and ensure that the ayatollahs\u2019 regime pays a very heavy price for its criminal actions,\u201d<\/em> Katz said, commenting to the developments, according to Ynet News.
