Israel's defence minister warned that Tehran's residents will "pay the price" for Iranian attacks on Israeli citizens, BBC reports.
Israel Katz has now clarified what he meant, writing on X that "there is no intention to physically harm the residents of Tehran".
"[They] will be forced to pay the price of the dictatorship and evacuate their homes from areas where it will be necessary to attack regime targets and security infrastructure in Tehran," he says.
"We will continue to protect the residents of Israel."
