Israel: “War crimes of the most serious kind”
Israeli Defence Minister, Israel Katz, said in a post on X:
“These are war crimes of the most serious kind – and Khamenei will be held accountable for his crimes.”
Which brings us to another statement, Katz made earlier today.
Khamenei “can no longer be allowed to exist”
Israel has repeatedly claimed that the attacks on Iran is solely to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and not to topple the regime.
But after this mornings attack, Israel Katz told reporters that Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei “can no longer be allowed to exist”.
Claims Khamenei gave the order
Katz claimed that it was Khamenei himself that gave the order to fire on hospitals.
Iran has not reacted to the claims, but Khamenei has repeatedly expressed a desire to destroy the state of Israel.
