Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant affirmed on October 23 that his country will launch an attack against Iran in response to the October 1 missile attack.
Speaking to pilots and air crews at the Hatzerim Air Base in the Negev desert in southern Israel, the minister said that after we strike in Iran, everyone will understand what you did in the preparation and training process.
Everyone who dreamed a year ago of beating us and attacking us paid a heavy price and is no longer in that dream, he added.
Iran launched some 200 ballistic missiles at Israel on October 1, hitting key security and military targets in the center and south of the country.
The attack was carried out in response to the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the Palestinian Hamas Movement, in Tehran in July, and the assassinations of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian General Abbas Nilforoushan in Beirut in September.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said after the large-scale attack that Tehran had made a big mistake and will pay for it.

Russia Navy ships pulled into an Iranian port for joint naval drills in the Indian Ocean, technically the Persian Gulf is part of the Indian Ocean. The Israeli attack has been delayed again.
