Israel threatens Khamenei after missiles hit hospital

ISRAEL CARRIES OUT STRIKES ON IRAN'S ARAK HEAVY WATER REACTOR

- 

Israel's defence minister threatened Iran's supreme leader yesterday after Iranian missiles damaged a hospital in southern Israel and hit residential buildings near Tel Aviv, wounding at least 240 people. Israel, meanwhile, struck a heavy water reactor linked to Iran's nuclear programme.

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz blamed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and said the military "has been instructed and knows that in order to achieve all of its goals, this man absolutely should not continue to exist."

US officials said earlier this week that President Donald Trump had vetoed an Israeli plan to kill Khamenei. Trump later said there were no plans to kill him, "at least not for now."
